Building International Partnership to Enhance Science Based Ecosystem approaches in support of Regional Ocean Governance - 1st Announcement

The meeting, “Building International Partnership to Enhance Science Based Ecosystem approaches in support of Regional Ocean Governance in the context of 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” will be a direct follow-on and answer to the calls for implementation of commitments, which emanated from the June 2017 SDG14 Conference in New York. The Cape Town meeting aims to guide consolidated efforts in multiple regions, with the support of various international organizations, to manage different aspects of shared marine ecosystems. It will cover, in particular, experience sharing examples and best practices of existing collaboration between Large Marine Ecosystem programmes, Regional Seas Conventions and Actions Plans, Regional Fisheries Agreements and Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs); exploring how regional institutions and projects are utilising science to support countries in implementing ecosystem approaches as well as how that will support the 2030 Agenda and associated Sustainable Development Goals (targets and indicators); and identifying partnerships at the regional level between all initiatives, including MPA, MSP, ICM, fisheries and climate change adaptation initiatives to strengthen regional ocean governance.
