Namibia's ocean is more than waves and water. Rather, it is a lifeline for food, jobs, and the broader economy.

The country's marine research community is celebrating a decade of scientific progress. 

The Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Derek Klazen, has called on the High-Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy, or the Ocean Panel, to do more to market investment opportunities in the ocean economy.

This, Klazen says, will maximise the country's economic benefits.
