The Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources and line Ministries are undergoing a National Ocean Law and Policy workshop this week to understand the domestication processes of the BBNJ Treaty (High Sea Treaty), the regional declarations on preserving maritime boundaries in the face of climate change, Continuity of Statehood and the first ever National Ocean Policy for Kiribati. This workshop is supported by the Office of the Pacific Ocean Commissioner, Pacific Island Forum Secretariat, and CROP and international partners who joined this meeting virtually.
