🌊 Somalia’s Blue Economy is more than fishing. Ports, maritime trade, aquaculture, tourism and marine conservation all offer opportunities for jobs and business growth. OPONE starts with fisheries to help unlock this wider potential. #OPONE #BlueEconomy #somalia

We sincerely appreciate your rescue of the Somali artisanal fishermen in the middle of the ocean. This shows that corporate responsibility is truly at the core of your values. Thank you for your help.
Somalia’s artisanal fishermen face immense challenges at sea. Recently, our team rescued young fishermen stranded in the middle of the ocean after their engine failed and they had no communication to ask for help. These fishermen are the backbone of our coastal communities.

🌊 What is the Blue Economy? It’s more than fishing. It connects fisheries, transport, tourism, energy, technology and conservation. The bigger question is: How can we create more value while keeping the ocean healthy? People. Prosperity. Planet. #BlueEconomy #OPONE #somalia

I wasn’t wrong to narrow down Burgavo as my future beachfront home, InshaAllah. I believe it’s the most aesthetically beautiful location in all of Somalia. Burgavo is just 70 km from Kiunga 🇰🇪, with a coastal road overlooking the sea all through the drive
