Objetivo: Generar y difundir informacin cientfica confiable sobre el estado de la conservacin de la biodiversidad marina del pas y sus tendencias, que sea de utilidad para la toma de decisiones.
Metodologa de implementacin: El trabajo se inicia con la identificacin de elementos focales de manejo, posteriormente se disean indicadores ecolgicos para el elemento focal y su ecosistema. Los indicadores cuentan con verificadores. Posteriormente se organizan en un solo protocolo por elemento focal de manejo que deber ser oficializado por el SINAC y aplicado por las reas de conservacin u otros socios estratgicos tales como el Servicio Nacional de Guardacostas, organizaciones no gubernamentales de investigacin, la academia, grupos locales que realicen monitoreo participativo, entre otros.
Mecanismos de seguimiento: El seguimiento lo realiza el Programa Nacional de Monitoreo Ecolgico del Sistema Nacional de reas de Conservacin.
Gobernanza: La gobernanza del monitoreo se encuentra en el Decreto Ejecutivo 39747.
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
Type of commitment
- Large Marine Ecosystem approach
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
Type of commitment
- No take marine protected area
- Marine protected area with partial protection
- Multiple use marine protected area
- Locally or community managed marine areas
- MPA management and/or enforcement
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
Type of commitment
- Scientific, socioeconomic and interdisciplinary research
- Research capacity development
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
Type of commitment
- Strengthening ocean governance, for example through the development of a national ocean policy or regional ocean policy
