Biliana Cicin-Sain, world leader in coastal and ocean governance

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) mourns the loss of a true ocean champion, Biliana Cicin-Sain. Biliana, who founded and led the Global Ocean Forum, was actively engaged in multiple GEF projects, including the Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction programs and the CTI IW:LEARN project. The words of the Global Ocean Forum tribute are echoed by those in the GEF who knew Biliana. Her family has created a website in celebration of her life, available here.
