This landmark event, supported by the Nairobi Convention, the Minderoo Foundation, the Blue Nature Alliance (BNA), (WIOMSA), the VARUNA Biodiversity Programme, the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), brought together over 80 participants representing ten Nairobi Convention countries, creating a dynamic platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
