Peter Thomson, met today in Dakar with the H.E. Oumar Gueye, Senegal\u2019s Minister of Fisheries and Maritime Economy, to discuss Ocean issues in the lead-up to <a href=\"https:\/\/oceanconference.un.org\/\">The Ocean Conference<\/a>. The conference is mandated by the United Nations in support of Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG14) and will be held in New York, 5-9 June.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister Gueye advised that the Government of Senegal has adopted a national plan that covers climate adaption and Ocean issues such as overfishing, marine pollution, acidification and Ocean warming. He assured President Thomson of the Government\u2019s commitment to The Ocean Conference and highlighted Senegal\u2019s strong interest in arising partnerships and project funding to achieve SDG 14 targets in Senegal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The President commended Senegal\u2019s strong engagement on Ocean issues and said he hoped this would extend to encouraging other countries of the region to attend The Ocean Conference at high levels, all with a view to conserving and sustainably managing West Africa\u2019s marine resources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Following their meeting, Minister Gueye arranged a field visit for President Thomson to a local fishing community at Quai de P\u00eache de Yoff. The President had expressed a wish to engage with Senegal&#8217;s fishers to learn more about their conditions and challenges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">After the visit to Yoff, the President said: \u201cIt was a great pleasure to visit this vibrant local fishing community. I learned a lot today about how Ocean issues like acidification, rising temperatures, overfishing and marine pollution affect the daily lives of fishermen. Understanding and acting upon the perspectives and expectations of artisanal fishers is an important component of SDG14 that will be covered in <a href=\"https:\/\/oceanconference.un.org\/\">The Ocean Conference<\/a> this June.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">President Thomson\u2019s activities in Senegal are part of his visit to several African countries to build momentum and recognize commitment towards the implementation of the 2030 Agenda&#8217;s Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE President of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ General Assembly addresses Ocean Issues in Senegal 27 March 2017 The President of the General Assembly, H.E.
