ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Western Indian Ocean Program advances research and policy engagement on maritime security, geopolitical dynamics, and blue economy in the Western Indian Ocean region. It focuses on key issues such as maritime trade security, piracy, illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, climate-related maritime risks, and strategic competition over critical sea lanes and resources.
The program aims to strengthen regional maritime governance and cooperation by generating evidence-based policy recommendations for governments, regional bodies, and international partners. Through research, policy dialogue, and strategic advisory work, it seeks to enhance maritime security, safeguard critical sea routes, and promote a secure and sustainable ocean economy that supports regional prosperity and stability
