C. The protection of marine environment and biodiversity in the Area

And hence, the enormous role that a marine protected area can play.

According to the United States Marine Mammal Commission, 136 marine species have been reported in entanglement incidents in the wider United States area, including 6 species of sea turtles, 51 species of seabirds and 32 species of marine mammals (Marine Mammal Commission, 1996).

Maria Island National Park has a total area of 115.50 km², which includes a marine area of 18.78 km² off the island's northwest coast.

The second important area was marine biological investigations, although also geological, biological and other surveys were conducted.

The activities of UNEP under this priority area are also closely related to the Programme of Action priority area entitled quot Coastal and marine resources quot .

They were the world's largest marine protected area up until last week when the Chagos Archipelago was declared.

Such structures and facilities will probably include a parking area, some fencing, a marine pier or ramp, a secured boat vehicle storage area, and an access road.

The Global Plan of Action for the Conservation, Management and Utilization of Marine Mammals (UNEP, FAO) includes as one major objective area the survival of the existing species of marine mammals.

Marine environment and marine living resources

Once a marine, always a marine.

The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources annually reviews the issue of marine debris and has implemented a suite of measures to monitor and evaluate the impact of anthropogenic debris and waste on marine living resources in the Convention Area.

(Accommodation of Activities in the Area and in the Marine Environment) (LOS PCN SCN.3 WP.6 Add.6)

(i) Acquisition of scientific knowledge and monitoring of the development of marine technology relevant to activities in the Area, in particular technology relating to the protection and preservation of the marine environment

Marine environment, marine resources and sustainable development

The representative of the Permanent South Pacific Commission said that its plan of action to protect the marine environment, including vulnerable marine ecosystems, and the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and Coastal Area of the South East Pacific and its Protocols provided the basis for action with respect to marine debris.

The Authority also plays an important role in promoting marine scientific research in the Area (article 143 see also paras.

(Protection and Preservation of the Marine Environment from Activities in the Area) (LOS PCN SCN.3 WP.6 Add.5

XI. Marine environment, marine resources and sustainable development

I'm a marine. My grandpa's a marine, too!

109. In the area of marine resources, efforts focused on analysing the contents of the relevant chapter of Agenda 21, in order to help countries formulate marine policies that could respond to those challenges.

The main marine resources of SIDS consist of marine fisheries, and other living marine resources.

In the area of large marine eco systems, attention will be given to the Humboldt Current and the Gulf of Mexico.

The main area of cooperation is the environmentally sound management of hazardous wastes in order to prevent coastal and marine pollution.

States parties to UNCLOS may carry out marine scientific research in the Area and shall promote international cooperation in that respect.

It also looked at integrated coastal area and river basin management, which links freshwater and coastal and marine systems, highlighting land based sources of activities affecting the quality and uses of the coastal and marine environment.

(c) Coastal and marine resource issues should be addressed through the adoption of integrated coastal area management for the sustainable development of the marine environment and resources, including fisheries and aquaculture at the national and regional levels

(h) serious harm to the marine environment means any effect from activities in the Area on the marine environment which represents a significant adverse change in the marine environment determined according to the rules, regulations and procedures adopted by the Authority on the basis of internationally recognized standards and practices.

This was followed by scientific presentations on the various mineral resources of the Area and the marine environment in which they are found.

160 Regulations on Prospecting and Exploration for Polymetallic Nodules in the Area (ISBA 6 A 18, annex) contain a definition of marine environment .

The results of the expedition provide the scientific basis for the rehabilitation of the marine and coastal environment in the ROPME sea area.
