The civil society organisations of the Pacific representing our diverse constituencies and mandated by them to promote and protect the interest of the Pacific Islands peoples, declare that the agenda of the Blue Economy as currently presented and now espoused by our Pacific Leaders, may not be in the interest of Pacific peoples. Rather, the aspired outcomes will endanger: not sustain, the very lives of Pacific people, communities, our environment and our social, and cultural wellbeing. Its planned processes will challenge: not uphold, the traditions, cultures and values of Pacific people.
