Seaweed Breakthrough Action Pledge
We, the undersigned, recognise the importance of healthy and resilient seaweed ecosystems in supporting biodiversity, climate resilience, sustainable livelihoods, food systems, and ocean health.
Through the Seaweed Breakthrough, we submit this Expression of Interest to join the GlobalSeaweed-CONNECT Network, a global community of individuals and organisations committed to advancing seaweed conservation and sustainable development.
By submitting this Expression of Interest, we seek to open discussions regarding participation in the CONNECT Network as a Pathway 1 Advocate and to demonstrate our support for and endorsement of the vision and objectives of the Seaweed Breakthrough.
As an Advocate, we recognise opportunities to contribute to the ambitions of the Seaweed Breakthrough in ways that are appropriate to our role, expertise, influence, and capacity. Any pledges or actions selected from the Conservation Menu are entirely voluntary and may be undertaken at our discretion. Where voluntary commitments are made, they will reflect the level of contribution that is appropriate and achievable for our organisation.
Where possible, we will share progress, experiences, and insights through the CONNECT Network to strengthen collaboration, encourage collective learning, and support the achievement of the Seaweed Breakthrough’s global conservation and sustainability goals.
