75.1.               Introduction

 

75.2.               Purpose

 

75.3.               Objectives

 

75.3.1.             Target:

75.3.1.1.                14.1 Rapidly prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution

75.3.1.2.                14.2 Rapidly sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans

75.3.1.3.                14.3 Minimize and address all the impacts of ocean acidification and warming and cool ocean water in the vicinity of coral reefs and in other surface areas where needed
including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels

75.3.1.4.                14.4 Rapidly effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as determined by their biological characteristics

75.3.1.5.                14.5 Rapidly conserve at least 10 percent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information

75.3.1.6.                14.6 Rapidly prohibit certain forms of fisheries subsidies which contribute to overcapacity and overfishing, eliminate subsidies that contribute to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and refrain from introducing new such subsidies, recognizing that appropriate and effective special and differential treatment for developing and least developed countries should be an integral part of the World Trade Organization fisheries subsidies negotiation

75.3.1.7.                14.7 Rapidly increase the economic benefits to Small Island developing States and least developed countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism

75.3.1.8.                14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries

75.3.1.9.                14.b Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets

75.3.1.10.             14.c Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources by implementing international law as reflected in UNCLOS, which provides the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources, as recalled in paragraph 158 of The Future We Want

75.4.               Actions
