Skills
I gained a sound knowledge of the importance of ocean, marine and coastal habitats, and also learned about the environmental issues related to the different ocean-based sectors such as shipping, fishing, maritime energy, aquaculture, and also coastal development. I have obtained a thorough knowledge of the law of the sea (UNCLOS), the sustainable coastal management and development, more importantly, the marine protected areas, sustainable fisheries management, and the maritime spatial planning which helps in managing the coast and ocean activities. I also gained an intermediate knowledge of Geographic Information System (GIS) in analyzing the spatial data and making GIS maps. During the course of the program, we had training on stakeholder's engagement and meetings and also on multilateral diplomacy and negotiations on different tasks such as (BBNJ) biodiversity beyond national jurisdictions, maritime delimitations. Which provided the confidence and skills of public speaking, persuading and delivering the personal ideas to settle an agreement, diplomacy and negotiation skills.
