Webinar On-Demand: 'Investigating the Ocean' Webinar Series: How To Report on Regulation and Governance (Webinar 1)

Authors:


This session introduces journalists to the complex landscape of ocean governance: from international conventions to national agencies and local enforcement bodies. Participants will learn how power over the ocean is structured, who makes decisions, and where accountability gaps exist.

The webinar will combine OSINT techniques with institutional mapping to help reporters identify responsible authorities, uncover regulatory failures, and navigate opaque bureaucracies across different countries.
