This webinar focuses on an introduction to domestic customary laws of the coast and sea within the context of ocean governance.

Eight speakers will provide short 5-minute presentations on customary laws within an ocean governance context across distinctive disciplinary (including law, political ecology, anthropology, and history) and regional (including Ghana, South Africa, the Caribbean, and Fiji) contexts. The session includes a mixture of One Ocean Hub researchers and Nippon Fellow Alumni. After presentations, the session then focuses on reflection, questions, and discussion surrounding the status, importance, and integration of customary law within national and international ocean governance.
