27
UK Government funding for Overseas Territories marine conservation is critical for global protection and local empowerment.
Conclusion
The UK Government’s funding for programmes that enable local communities in Overseas Territories (OTs) to deliver marine conservation initiatives is critical for global marine protection, given the vast marine areas that are part of the UK’s OTs, and for empowering local communities. It is vital for the UK Government to demonstrate international leadership in marine protection to reinforce the UK’s commitment to sustainable marine governance globally. (Conclusion, Paragraph 97)
