Welcome to the August 2022 PEMSEA Blue Economy Bulletin. We would like you to join PEMSEA at the upcoming UN Climate Conference meeting (COP27), where PEMSEA will join the Virtual Ocean Pavilion. This month we share interviews on PEMSEA's development and on the growth in Integrated Coastal Management (ICM), as well as a site visit to ICM sites in the Philippines. The 2022 Youth Video and Small Grants Competitions are ongoing.

In wider news, no agreement was reached for a high seas treaty, while new research has put the percentage of marine life at risk from climate change at 90% and the economic impacts of climate change are expected to be in the trillions. However, Indonesia has announced plans to expand its protected seas, and new research has come out on the link between marine management and ecosystem services.
