aimed at implementing international and regional commitments to halt biodiversity loss in the marine environment.
based on an ecosystem approach with clear, enforceable targets with the overall aim of restoring and preserving healthy marine ecosystems.
capable of delivering an ecosystem-based management system which will mitigate the threats of human activities on the marine environment.
that will put an end to the sector by sector and piecemeal approach to management of the marine environment.
