#today, the global community is celebrating #WorldOceansDay under the theme, #LifeandLivehoods. Let's manage and protect our blue planet systems every day🌍. Benguela CC BCLME Fisheries Resilience to Climate Change #happyoceansday2021 #oceangovernance

In Benguela, we spoke with women from Caota who grow mussels - #mariculture - and are being supported by the project “Improving Ocean Governance and Integrated Management" in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem, managed by Angola, Namibia and South Africa

Mussels need a special ecossystem to develop and harvests have declined in recent years The project, supported by UN Development, wants to guarantee the sustainability of communities in Caota that live off the sale of mussels and reduce the impact of mariculture on the #environment

The Benguela CC supported the microplastics lab at CPUT to strengthen long term monitoring and capacity building in the BCLME. #Today, the #BCC Secretariat visited CPUT to discuss collaboration between the university and the BCC member states.
