The island, a 10-minute ferry ride from Rockingham, south of Perth, Australia, teems with over a hundred species, big and small.

Why Saint Kitts & Nevis?
The Government of Saint Kitts & Nevis has been increasingly recognised for its efforts in sustainable development and is partnering with Island Innovation to share its Sustainable Island State Agenda (SISA) at the Global Sustainable Islands Summit.
The Sustainable Island State Agenda (SISA) is a 7-pillar framework designed to guide Saint Kitts & Nevis towards a sustainable future by 2040, aiming to address critical challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequality.
These pillars will be the foundation for the event’s content tracks. Each session will bring together local players from Saint Kitts & Nevis with high-level island stakeholders from around the world to collaborate. Will you join us?
