By
2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds,
in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and
nutrient pollution
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
Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
By 2020, 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
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
By 2020, 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
By 2030, 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
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
Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources
and markets
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
