In September, the first-ever Coastal Ocean Environment School in Western Indian Ocean took place in Mombasa, Kenya! 🇰🇪

As part of the #OceanDecade, @Coeswio gathered 75 early-career ocean professionals from the region for a hands-on learning experience in #OceanScience. ⤵️

From the Atlantic Ocean to the West Indian Ocean, your vision has built bridges across continents, inspired generations of scientists, and created a legacy of
collaboration through the Coastal Ocean Environment Schools.
Congratulations on your Birthday, Prof. Brian Arbic! 🎉🎂
