Blue Economy in Focus | 11th Our Ocean Conference, Mombasa 2026

At the 11th Our Ocean Conference (OOC11) in Mombasa, Kenya, the blue economy emerged as a central theme across sessions, side events, and announcements, with speakers addressing the role of finance in translating ocean commitments into delivery. This video captures delegate perspectives on blue bonds as a financing instrument, the trajectory of blue bond issuance since Seychelles issued the first in Africa, calls to move the market beyond early adopters, and the connections between ocean finance, coastal communities, and sustainable use. OOC11 was hosted by the Government of Kenya, 16--18 June 2026, under the theme "Our Ocean, Our Heritage, Our Future."
