    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the ratification of the Amended Nairobi Convention and the Protocol for the Protection of Marine and Coastal Environment of the Western Indian Ocean from Land-based Resources and Activities. I rise to support this ratification, especially relating to the Indian Ocean. The blue economy is the next big thing in our country. We have seen the advantages of making sure that our ocean is protected and made clean by all means possible. We have seen some international companies which direct all the waste from their factories and industries into the Indian Ocean. We must protect our marine environment. Doing so is beneficial to us as a country because it makes sure that our environment is clean. There are various kinds of economic goods that we get from the Indian Ocean and from the blue economy. We have witnessed many fishermen who benefit from the Indian Ocean. They are able to put food on their tables and take care of their families from fishing in the Indian Ocean. That is where they earn their living from. Therefore, all effort should be put towards protecting our ocean and making sure that we safeguard it from environmental hazards that affect the marine ecosystem."
