Abstract

Stressing on this year's World Environment Day theme — Do we want our oceans alive or dead?-, he said it was essential to start and sustain a `sea care' movement, considering that the country had over two million square km of sea zone in the Exclusive Economic Zone. Issues such as preventing sea pollution and ensuring sustainable development of marine resources must be addressed. Education and awareness building, regulation of the use of resources and community mobilisation were some of the means by which a successful `sea care' programme could be implemented.
