Our Ocean, Our Life
While it is easy to appreciate tangible land estates because they form our immediate habitat, a true understanding of the value of land should create a deeper awareness of the geostrategic essence of our oceans. At CEMLAWS Africa, we are committed to preserving and enhancing the value of Africa’s maritime estate. But why should our oceans matter to you? .

Maritime Snippet
The Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. The SDGs were set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be achieved by the year 2030. What is beginning to emerge more and more is that the ocean is a pivotal tool in attaining the SDGs. There is an increasing awareness of the fact that there are several other SDGs which are hinged on SDG 14; and consequently, on the Blue Economy.

I am impressed with the commitment, integrity passion and the depth of knowledge with which the Resource persons handled the subjects particularly that of Dr. Kamal-Deen Ali. It's been an insightful training, I hope to bring to the fore in discharge of my work.

Training has been very beneficial. Broadened my understanding on some of the maritime laws which is going to impact positively in my decision-making in respect of processing of applications for activities in the offshore environment.

The Maritime Regulation and Enforcement(August 2018): Leaving this programme with a better understanding of the Law of the Sea. I am a better person to educate my Junior Officers on Maritime Regulation and Enforcement. Very good Resource Persons.
