SUMMARY:Ocean Resilience in Focus: Developing Science-based Approaches for Coral & Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:The event will invite coral conservation institutes and coral researchers in support of the implementation of Kunming Montréal Biodiversity Framework and the Coral Reef Breakthrough Goals and Action Point. The session will showcase the developments and illustrate leading practices around several elements of how jurisdictions are safeguarding coral reef ecosystem including but not limited to: \n\ndata for better decision-making;\ntechnology & innovation;\ncitizen science;\nmarine education & ocean literacy; and\npolicies for coral reef conservation & restoration\n\nThis event aims to: \n\nfacilitate exchanging experiences and lessons-learned with various stakeholders contributed to biodiversity conservation. highlight the need for strengthening capacity-building\, access to and transfer of technology to bridge up the conservation gap so to meet up the needs for effective implementation; and\ncreate the opportunity of partnership\, close collaboration and knowledge exchange in the international and national level.\n\nLead Organisation: Delta Environmental & Educational Foundation \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF) \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT SUMMARY (.PDF)

SUMMARY:[In Spanish] Honduras: Improving reef health via crab cultivation
DESCRIPTION:This listening session / mini panel is a collaboration will focus on partnerships for the health of reefs and people. Collaboration and pilot project presentation\, focusing on the following: \n\nHealthy Reefs for Healthy People (HRHP)\, an alliance with more than 75 regional partners that promotes projects that benefit reef health and resilience across the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef (MAR)\, and the Honduras Coral Reef Fund (HCRF)\, which is one of the first MPA co-managing organizations to join this initiative and has been instrumental for data collection in the Cayos Cochinos Marine Natural Monument (CCMNM).\nHRHP and HCRF’s piloting of the cultivation of king crab as a way of controlling macroalgae\, which smothers corals and hinders new recruits. Native herbivorous species populations urgently need to increase across the MAR in order to tackle macroalgae and ensure the success of restoration programs. The king crab Mithrax spinosissimus is a very successful native herbivore that has received limited focus in reef ecological health studies and projects to date\, compared to reef species such as parrotfish. HRHP and HCRF are looking to change this with their innovative pilot project.\nHonduras Seascape Partnership – HCRF’s vital coral reef conservation and research is reinforced by the Atlántida Seascape Initiative of the Seascape Partnership\, conformed of five Honduran NGOs and international NGO Fauna & Flora. Since 2016\, this partnership has worked on social and ecological connectivity across three MPAs and the unprotected waters between them.\n\nLead Organisation: Honduras Coral Reef Fund (HCRF)\nCo-organisation(s): Fauna & Flora\, Healthy Reefs for Healthy People (HRHP) \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF)

SUMMARY:Youth Can Save Corals: Five Pathways for Action
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an inspiring\, youth-led event dedicated to saving our precious coral reefs! In this engaging session\, young changemakers will explore five ways young people can be part of the solution to our coral crisis. From raising funds to support groundbreaking scientific research to influencing global policy\, kids and youth around the world are already showing that they have the initiative and know-how to make a difference. \nThrough quick-fire presentations\, we will discuss how youth can take action right now through: grassroots fundraising\, bold advocacy\, rights-based legal frameworks\, global policy\, and\, of course\, hands-on action. This event is for all\, whether you are a young person looking for ways to make a difference or a seasoned expert looking for real ways to engage the next generation in your work. \nLead Organisation: Reserva: The Youth Land Trust \nCo-Organisation(s): Global Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN)\, Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN) \n  \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT SUMMARY (.PDF)

SUMMARY:Latinoamérica Azul: Amplifying Youth Voices for Ocean Conservation in Latin America
DESCRIPTION:This session will present the “Latinoamérica Azul” declaration\, the first youth-led document that outlines key demands and actionable recommendations for ocean conservation in Latin America. Created during the inaugural “Latinoamérica Azul” conference held in Costa Rica this past June\, the declaration captures the voices and perspectives of over 100 young ocean leaders from across the region. Key topics within the declaration—such as climate change\, marine protected areas\, and sustainable fisheries—are crucial for addressing the primary threats to coral ecosystems and halting their decline. By engaging a diverse group of young advocates and stakeholders\, this session aims to refine the declaration and develop a unified roadmap for presenting these youth-driven recommendations to regional policymakers. The enhanced declaration will serve as a strategic agenda for the upcoming UN Ocean Conference (UNOC) 2025 in Nice\, France\, ensuring that youth perspectives shape international\nocean conservation efforts. \nThis event will not only empower young voices but also create a network of advocates committed to driving ocean conservation efforts. We seek to amplify youth involvement in ocean governance\, ensuring the protection of our oceans for future generations. By aligning our efforts with UNOC 2025\, we aim to influence global ocean policy with a unified\, youth-driven agenda. \nLead Organisation: Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF) \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT SUMMARY (.PDF)
