26 Making Waves in the Regenerative & Sustainable Ocean Economy: Transformative Ocean Investment Opportunities 6. Ridge to Reef Many of the adverse activities in the ocean originate on land – from nutrient pollution as a result of agricultural run- off, to wastewater and waste mismanagement. Through the ridge to reef approach, activities in the landscapes adjacent to marine areas will be managed to reduce threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services stemming from activities like tourism and agriculture. Strengthened community and cross-sectoral involvement of relevant municipal, local and national government departments is key. Investment into integrated solutions including regenerative agriculture, sustainable forestry and land use, along with a recognition of the importance of watersheds and coastal management, is crucial to building a regenerative and sustainable system. AMOR — Mozambique faces significant ocean pollution challenges due to failing waste management systems and the accumulation of plastic redistributed by the Indian Ocean’s gyre. AMOR is setting- up innovative mechanisms to incentivise waste collection, monitor waste flows through the innovative KOLEKT app, and engage with the private sector and other stakeholders to financially contribute through the purchase of blue coins and verified tonnes of OBP credits, in an effort to remove 1,000 tons of waste from six coastal municipalities.
