In this video, Dr Dan Jones and Dr Erik Simon-Lledo from the National Oceanography Centre introduce the work they are doing in Kirabati as part of the Commonwealth Marine Economies (CME) Programme.

CME is a UK government programme that aims to support the marine economies (also referred to as 'blue economies') of 17 Commonwealth Small Island Developing States (SIDS). It aims to support them in identifying the potential of, and developing, their marine economies in a sustainable, resilient, and integrated way.

The programme promotes growth, innovation, jobs and investment, whilst safeguarding healthy seas and ecosystems. In partnership with the SIDS, the programme will develop and implement national Maritime Economy Plans to ensure the programme leaves a lasting legacy.
