Marianne Peron-Doise was invited to the presentation of OBP report 2016 on the state of maritime piracy, which stress out resurgence of piracy in the Indian Ocean. It was admitted that the fact that piracy and criminal networks were still alive in the area was not new but the point was to increase regional capacity in multiple dimensions as information sharing. In this perspective maritime capacity building and cooperation between the main projects, stakeholders and the region are seen as essential.
In the margin of the presentation, OBP also organized a meeting around a new report “Stable seas” dedicated to Somali waters.
