Session description
Oceans underpin marine communities around the world, supporting cultures, fisheries, aquaculture, minerals, energy, commerce, tourism, and more. Oceans are also critical to health and well-being. This session builds of the broader Ocean Solutions summit theme of ‘Healthy Ocean-Healthy People’ to unpack what this means for the island state of Tasmania, and surrounding regions, with the goal of identifying opportunities and levers for promoting healthy ocean-healthy people in a local on-the-ground context. Through e-posters, lightning talks, a Q&A panel, and breakout discussion groups this session aims to highlight what is needed at a local scale to facilitate and strengthen the links between ocean and human health, and help identify what actions have the greatest potential to deliver solutions.
