Maldives to co-champion action on coastal fisheries for Commonwealth

Maldives has stepped forward to co-champion the Commonwealth Blue Charter Action Group on sustainable coastal fisheries alongside the current champion country, Kiribati.

The country made the announcement at a virtual seminar, hosted by the Commonwealth Secretariat.

As a new co-champion, Maldives will work with Kiribati, as well as the other members of the action group, to develop strategies on the sustainable use of coastal marine resources across the Commonwealth, covering a third of the world’s national waters.
