The MENA Oceans Network is an initiative by Goumbook to unify diverse ocean linked stakeholders across the region and accelerate the pace of ocean action under a collaborative framework. Breaking silos, this initiative brings together policy makers, academia and researchers, the private sector and innovators, alongwith the youth and community to drive impact.

Our mission is to accelerate the pace of ocean action, with the following mandate as our key priorities:

• Conserving, restoring and rehabilitating the ocean’s natural capital by identifying and scaling impact driven region-wide initiatives
• Catalyzing resources and efforts towards a climate-resilient, sustainable blue economy, through wide-ranging partnerships
• Building awareness on ocean linked issues, for diverse stakeholders to take accountability and action.
• Enabling equitable conservation and growth opportunities for vulnerable habitats and communities across the region
