Aloha, as our global Island and Ocean community grows here in Kauai, Hawaii, locally, our hearts are spread out around the world right now to the families, friends, communities, and organizations we’ve spent time with and shared through the World Team journey.
We send love out, and hope somehow you may feel in your heart that space is held for YOU. Deep gratitude remains for the heart YOU bring, or have given, to the idea and vision for World Team Now, and to our World Team project over the years.
Coming into this Holiday tide, it has been difficult to be objective and share our progress and growth, as so much continues to change. We are grateful to participate in the United Nations 3rd Ocean Conference in Nice, France, this summer. We now have a global public policy ratified for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the open Ocean, and finally at least addresses the topic of the areas Beyond Boundaries of National Jurisdiction (BBNJ), with some healthy infusion of what could be the beginning of more environmental and social justice for all species, and our water bodies, too. BBNJ is set to go into action next year…
May the light we each hold in our hearts help better ignite the “Lighthouses” around the world to become beacons of hope, in this United Nations “Decade of the Ocean,” where multistakeholder partnerships (Indigenous peoples, tribes, hubs, groups, the private and public sectors of local and global government, and corporations alike, are seemingly making an effort to change, and better work together on common goals.
One heart at a time, we are engaged in holding a peaceful transformation for each sovereign being, as collective systems change, living into virtues. We are shining the light for being pioneering in how we REGRENERATE innovation, keeping the perspective of the value of nature-based organic wisdom, for a world where we can give what is best for us all to live together, for a renewed future.
Our approach to mangroves is not to just design an optimal preservation, but to also explore the best way to better educate ourselves and others about the experiential value of mangroves with their role in all that is rapidly changing.
