Published: 19 Mar 2025
Navigating the political seas can be as challenging as charting the physical ones. The UN Ocean Conference in Nice was no different.

There’s an allure to the sea, to its vast, unknowable depths and capricious waves. Yet, the intrigue of the ocean isn’t limited to its physicality. It extends to the shores and beyond, into the boardrooms and conference halls where leaders, diplomats, and scientists gather to chart the future of our oceans. The recent UN Ocean Conference held in Nice was no exception. The allure was tinged with an undercurrent of anxiety. Reports surfaced of potential disruptions and heightened security alerts, drawing comparisons to the unpredictable nature of the sea itself.

Despite the ripples it caused, the conference was also a wake-up call. As with the unpredictable waves of the sea, so too are the waves of international politics and maritime security. This event was a sharp reminder of the need for constant vigilance, for adaptability, and for an unerring commitment to sail forward, regardless of the challenges that lie ahead. After all, the ocean’s allure isn’t just in its tranquility, but in its tempests too.
