Ahead of and during the High level event on Ocean Action - Immersed In Change in San José, Costa Rica 🇨🇷, RISE UP- A Blue Call to Action network members, small-scale fishers, and other friends of the coalition gathered to catalyze efforts for a call to action leading up to the UN Ocean Conference 2025 and beyond. We focused on uniting around common issues and priorities to protect, restore, and equitably govern the ocean such as the #HighSeasTreaty, #30x30 through a #HumanRightsBased approach and ensuring a moratorium on #DeepSeaMining. In our working session, discussions centered on the network's potential to drive the transformative change needed for our ocean's future.
