The financial support to scientific research, protection and monitoring of the marine environment may contribute to the conservation of marine biodiversity, but given that marine ecosystems are less known, more complex and far away, and require much more investment, it is particularly important to develop specific financing lines that may support projects focused on marine biodiversity conservation.
Progress reports
By 2020, 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
By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information
