Dear Atlas Member

In the run-up to Rio+20, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development to be held in June, interested groups from youth to government leaders are defining a vision for the world of tomorrow - including a look at oceans - in Rio+20: The Future We Want. Take a look at what is happening and join the global conversation.

Highlights in this month's newsletter include a recent interagency report, Green Economy in a Blue World, on how healthy seas and coasts could pay healthy dividends in a green economy, describing the huge potential for economic growth and poverty eradication from well-managed marine sectors. And following tragedies in Italy, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea, the IMO will look at passenger ship safety at its forthcoming May meeting.

If this newsletter may interest someone you know, please forward it.
