The Impact of Industrial Longline Fishing on Marine Biodiversity

(a) The environmental impacts of anthropogenic activities on marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction

My country attaches great interest to several issues addressed in the draft resolutions under our consideration, including the safety of navigation, maritime transportation and the protection and sustainable use of marine biodiversity.

76. Also notes the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Synthesis reports and the urgent need to protect the marine biodiversity expressed therein

The Price of Biodiversity

The goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity are the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of the components of biological diversity, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.

And on coral reefs, where some of the main framework organisms disappear, we will see a major loss of marine biodiversity.

The pollution due to urban and industrial waste waters further strangled the environment and is most probably the main reason for the depletion of the marine biodiversity of the lagoon.

9. Calls upon States, taking into consideration the Convention on Biological Diversity,United Nations, Treaty Series, vol. 1760, No. 30619. to develop national, regional and international programmes to halt the loss of marine biodiversity in the Caribbean Sea, in particular fragile ecosystems such as coral reefs

But our challenge is to implement such measures and to encourage States to comply with them in order to stop the depletion of fish stocks and the destruction of marine biodiversity.

(b) Report of the Secretary General Conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction (resolution 59 24, sect. X)

The Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted international guidelines on biological diversity and tourism in 2004.

The Convention on Biological Diversity Guidelines on Biodiversity and Tourism Development, adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention in 2004 point to a systematic approach for the evaluation of tourism developments in sensitive areas.
