The 4th #OurOcean conference of global leaders on ocean conservation hosted by the European Union concluded in Malta last Friday. It raised more than $7 billion and won a series of major commitments to protect wide sections of the Earth’s oceans: ourocean2017.org/.

Demetres Karavellas, head of delegation for WWF and CEO of WWF Greece said, �In the face of stark reports of the decline in ocean ecosystems, we are beginning to see leaders in government, civil society and the private sector standing up to be counted to make tangible commitments to conservation, which is most encouraging. We must now turn these commitments into real change, and recognize at the same time that much more needs to be done.�
