Description
Using oceans sustainably involves managing marine resources to maintain ecosystem health, support livelihoods, and ensure long-term productivity. Essential actions include regulating fishing practices, reducing pollution, protecting critical habitats, and enforcing international agreements. This strategy aims to remedy overexploitation, habitat destruction, and biodiversity loss by promoting responsible resource use, monitoring impacts, and restoring degraded areas, thereby securing the oceans’ ecological and economic benefits for present and future generations.
Context
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 integrated management and sustainable development of coastal and marine areas, including exclusive economic zones.
