West Africa shipping service upgrades

This session explores the human and ecological impacts of mass strandings from two complementary perspectives: the lived experiences of coastal communities and the scientific evidence of how sargassum influxes are transforming marine ecosystems.

The Africa Center invites you to a webinar, in collaboration with the Institute for Security Studies–Africa, to examine the linkages between Western Hemisphere cartel activity and drug trafficking in and through West Africa, as well as to discuss West African government responses and their implications for international security. The webinar is open to all Africa Center alumni, partners, communities of interest, and US government colleagues.

Drawing on the unique experience of the Chair of the Marine Environment Protection Committee of the International Maritime Organization, this webinar will offer an inside perspective on how the Committee works in practice.
