Common Oceans – the Areas Beyond National Jurisdictions (ABNJ)

Published 11 Dec 2018

http://www.fao.org/in-action/commonoc... This is a short video on the Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ) – our Common Oceans. The ABNJ include some highly complex ecosystems, which are subject to negative impacts from a variety of sectors including shipping, pollution and illegal fishing. Addressing such impacts is compounded by problems in coordinating, disseminating and building capacity for best practices and in capitalizing on successful experiences – especially those related to the management of fisheries in ABNJ.
