ABOUT

Photo and Video Galleries for this event are available.

The Our Ocean Summit, Ireland’s flagship event for the marine sector, took place on the 10th of June at Cork’s City Hall. Political representatives from 30 small island nations, global leaders and more than 750 delegates attended the event.

 

As world leaders discussed climate change and our oceans health at the Summit it became evident that this Summit with its global audience of UN representatives, political and business leaders and members of the public, had an important voice to share with the world. This strongly echoed the theme of the Summit this year, which was 'Shared Voices from Small Island States'.
The Our Ocean Wealth Summit was held in association with
