MISSION STATEMENT
Leading Women for the Ocean (LWO) is a global network of women leaders from the highest levels of government, business, and civil society. We believe that empowering women’s voices in international ocean conservation increases our ability to solve problems. We are committed to empowering their participation in key negotiations such as climate change and ocean protection (or conservation), overfishing and IUU fisheries, and pollution. With passionate representatives from over 10 countries, we bring a new approach to protecting the ocean and the many millions of people who depend on its health and resources.
