Monrovia- Liberia’s first ‘Blue Ocean Conference’ has begun with a call to join forces in ensuring a clean marine environment for Liberia and the West African region. The event is jointly organized by the Government of Liberia, the Swedish Embassy near Monrovia and Conservation International (CI). It began with a joint clean-up campaign on a beach in Paynesville, featuring the organizers, local and international guests attending the conference and the Paynesville City Corporation. Madam Harleman noted that her country’s government was excited to work with Liberia and CI in promoting a clean and safe marine environment. Indirectly when you do that, you are taking plastic out of the streets, you are taking plastic out of the beaches.
