Diving deeper into our 2020 Forum theme, will share powerful stories about how interconnected land/soil and sea are. 

We will explore:
  • How have human activities on land led to the ‘bad neighbor’ syndrome between land/soil and sea?
  • How to reverse the negative trends of human activities through local actions that are ecologically, culturally and socio-economically relevant/appropriate? 
  • How might we all become local agents of global change?
