ST JAMES, Jamaica — Jamaica will host the 13th Our Ocean Conference in Montego Bay in June 2029.
Accepting the responsibility at the closing ceremony of the 11th Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, Kenya, Minister of Water, Environment and Climate Change Matthew Samuda said Jamaica embraced the opportunity with “profound gratitude, humility and a deep sense of responsibility”.
“This is more than the acceptance of an event. It is the acceptance of a responsibility to the world’s oceans, to future generations, and to the billions of people whose lives, livelihoods, food security, culture, and prosperity depend on a healthy marine environment,” he said.
