Kindiki urges global action to protect oceans at World Ocean Conference

Deputy President Professor Kithure Kindiki is calling for concerted efforts to protect the oceans and marine biodiversity from the effects of climate change. Speaking in Mombasa during the official opening ceremony of the 11th World Ocean Conference, Kindiki said the environmental pressures being experienced today are human-made and urged stakeholders across the globe to take action and implement protective measures. This comes as former US Secretary of State and founder of the conference John Kerry called for a crackdown and ban on plastics in the ocean if the world is to deal with the cancer menace.
