Introduction to CESMMA

The Centre for Environmental Sustainability, Marine and Maritime Affairs (CESMMA) is an emerging hub dedicated to advancing environmental protection and sustainable practices in marine and maritime sectors. Our mission is to provide research-driven insights, innovative solutions, and practical frameworks that help shape responsible policies and strengthen governance across Africa and beyond.

We focus on building a balanced approach where economic growth, environmental sustainability, and community well-being go hand in hand. By encouraging fair practices, CESMMA aims to create an environment where industries and communities thrive without compromising safety, sustainability, or ecological integrity.

The oceans and coastal environments are critical to trade, food security, and climate resilience. CESMMA’s role is to ensure that their use remains efficient, responsible, and future-focused through advocacy, policy guidance, and knowledge sharing.

Our work covers key areas such as sustainability, marine innovation, environmental governance, research, and advocacy. Through these, we empower stakeholders to make informed decisions that drive long-term progress.

By bringing together experts, policymakers, industries, and communities, CESMMA seeks to be a trusted platform for dialogue and action, ensuring that marine and maritime development contributes to a resilient and sustainable future.
