About
In partnership and with support from the Waitt Foundation Blue Prosperity Coalition, CI worked with the Government of Samoa to develop and launch the Samoa Ocean Strategy (SOS), the national policy framework that seeks to sustainably manage Samoa’s vast ocean and marine resources for the well-being of all Samoans now, and into the future. The SOS provides bold and comprehensive integrated ocean management solutions that will advance ocean stewardship and ensure the cultural and the economic values that Samoans derive from their 120,000 square kilometer ocean are preserved for generations to come. CI is working closely with the Waitt Institute, the Government of Samoa and other partners to implement the SOS.
