Kenya’s blue economy: Making ocean resources sustainable

First global conference on sustainable blue economy held in Nairobi, discussing efforts to save the world’s oceans.

Protecting the world’s oceans by creating a sustainable water economy was the focus for thousands of entrepreneurs and environmental experts meeting in Kenya.

The so-called “Blue Economy” is valued at six trillion dollars.

At the end of the three-day conference, heads of government and agencies committed to put in place policies to build a sustainable blue economy.
