dc.descriptionThe marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ), which comprise 64 percent of the oceans’ surface, contain ecosystems with marine resources and biodiversity of great ecological, socioeconomic, and cultural importance. The ecosystems in the ABNJ include the water column and seabed of the high seas, and are located far from coastal areas, making the sustainable management of fisheries and biodiversity conservation in these areas challenging. There is widespread agreement on the need to improv e conservation of marine ecosystems and sustainable use of resources in ABNJ at both global and regional levels emphasizing the need for links between regional and global management processes in ABNJ. In various ABNJ regions of the world, such as the Northeast Atlantic, the Sargasso Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Islands, important initiatives are underway to adapt existing regional institutional processes to move toward ecosystem-based management of ABNJ and to implement tools such as m ultiple-use area-based management and environmental impact assessment. Experiences, knowledge gained, and lessons learned from regional initiatives in fisheries management and biodiversity conservation in ABNJ need to be shared across regions and linked to ongoing global processes for maximum results and transformational impacts.
