Wednesday 10 March 2021, 15:00-16:00 UK time
Conserving the Golden Rainforest of the Atlantic: the Sargasso Sea GEF/FFEM project
Speaker: David Freestone, Sargasso Sea Commission
Synopsis: The Sargasso Sea is a unique haven of high seas biodiversity in the North Atlantic sub-tropical gyre, around the islands of Bermuda. It takes its name from the golden Sargassum algae which forms into large mats and windrows.  Since 2010, the Sargasso Sea Project has been working to raise international awareness of its importance and to seek to put conservation measures in place, as a case study for high seas conservation. Ten Governments have now signed the 2014 Hamilton Declaration on Collaboration for the Conservation of the Sargasso Sea, which mandates the establishment of the Sargasso Sea Commission. In June 2020, the Commission was allocated a $3 million grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). This is the first-ever GEF grant designed to address governance of a high seas ecosystem.
This presentation will review the work of the Commission and its partners since 2014 and then outline the plans for the GEF project – which with substantial co-financing from others including the French Global Environment Fund (FFEM) – will finance a major Ecosystem Diagnostic Analysis of the Sargasso Sea and the development of a Strategic Action Programme for future stewardship and sustainable governance.
Joining instructions: Please contact the project office.
