Assessing marine biological effects of increased ultraviolet radiation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.

Agenda 21 recommends initiating a programme of research to determine the marine biological effects of increased levels of ultraviolet rays due to the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer and to evaluate the possible effects.

1. Undertaking research on health effects of increasing ultraviolet radiation
2. Studying marine organisms
3. Researching ozone depletion
4. Investigating-Discovering

1. Assisting coastal States to assess effects of additional ultraviolet radiation
