Dr. Welsey Flannery (QUB) was an invited speaker at the recent Transformed and Transformative Ocean Governance Conference 2020, hosted by the Nelson Mandela University, Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
The conference focused on providing a forum for a wide range of ocean experts and stakeholders to engage with the latest developments impacting on ocean governance from developmental, ecosystem-based and human-rights-based approaches, before starting to reflect and give direction on what transformed and transformative ocean governance means and requires.
Dr. Flannery spoke about Politicising marine spatial planning to realise transformative ocean governance.
