Celebrate World Oceans Day with a fascinating talk on how international law helps protect the rich cultural practices and artefacts connected to our oceans. From tropical reefs to icy islands, our marine environments — and the species and stories they hold — are vital to the health of our planet and to communities around the world.Maritime cultural heritage spans songs, stories, skills, ships and shipwrecks, reflecting humanity’s deep and enduring relationship with the sea. Safeguarding this heritage matters now more than ever. Discover how the international community has responded through laws designed to recognise, respect and preserve both tangible and intangible heritage across our oceans.
Join renowned speaker Dr Erika Techera, Professor of Law at UWA, as she takes us on a clear, engaging tour of three key treaties, offering a global snapshot of why they remain so significant. With striking images and compelling stories, she highlights how these legal frameworks continue to protect our shared oceanic realm — a rare good news story in a time of global environmental challenge.
