These words from Dr Filimon Manoni, Pacific Ocean Commissioner, captured the sentiments expressed across two weeks of environment and ocean meetings held in Fiji. The Pacific Community (SPC), the Office of the Pacific Ocean Commissioner (OPOC) and Conservation International (CI) engaged with Pacific Island countries, regional organisations, development partners and donors during the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Expanded Constituency Week in Nadi, Fiji on 26 March 2026 to advance the development of the Unlocking Blue Pacific Prosperity (UBPP) through the Ocean Flagship $USD20 million proposal.
