Explore how Catholicism and Islam—representing over 3 billion people globally—approach ocean conservation through their transformative environmental frameworks. Through intimate personal narratives and theological insights, speakers will illuminate how Pope Francis's Laudato Si movement has mobilized Catholic communities, while Islamic scholars apply Qur'anic concepts of balance (Al mizan) and trusteeship (khalifa) to establish marine protected areas and transform fishing practices.

This dialogue session reveals practical applications of integral ecology and sacred stewardship, demonstrating how these two major faith traditions are translating ancient wisdom into urgent ocean action. Participants will discover resources for implementing these approaches in their own communities, fostering interfaith collaboration for marine protection that honors both scientific urgency and spiritual depth.
