On March 10, 2022, the SOI Foundation hosted a workshop titled "A Sustainable Blue Economy for a Healthy & Resilient Ocean" as part of the UN Ocean Decade Laboratory. The event featured guest speakers Ken Paul, a member of the Wolastoqey First Nation in the community of Neqotkuk who is an expert in Indigenous fisheries and oceans governance, and Ronnie Noonan-Birch, a Master’s student in Environmental Studies student at Dalhousie University, who is looking to develop a framework for a Sustainable Blue Economy. We were joined by people across the world from New Zealand to Iqaluit.
