On the heels of COVID-19 and in preparation for IMPAC5, Big Ocean and the Blue Nature Alliance hosted the 2022 Ocean Manager’s XCHANGE in Hawaiʻi. The convening brought together 36 marine managers and practitioners from 17 countries working to collectively protect more than 8 million square kilometers of ocean. The exchange seeded relationships vital to peer learning and fostered networking among those who are leading on-the-ground ocean conservation and governance efforts globally. Participants spent the week sharing lived experiences to cultivate knowledge, capacity, and authentic relationships on behalf of the marine areas and communities they work to protect.
