In the quest to build a more resilient planet, the work of dedicated grassroots scientists and activists can echo far beyond their home shoreline. This panel will highlight ocean champions from island nations around the world who are leading efforts to protect their oceans, one reef, one beach, one island at a time. How can governments and NGOs successfully support communities to build lasting ocean protection and health? And how can we inspire (and be inspired by) the next generation?

Marine Biologist, Maldives Marine Research Institute

Kathryn Mengerink

Executive Director, Waitt Institute

Kendra Beazer

Former Chairman of Agriculture, Lands Fisheries and Coastal Protection, Barbuda Council, Barbuda
