Multiple stressors pushing ocean ecosystems and livelihoods to the brink<\/p>\n

<\/a> Protecting the ocean must be a priority in global sustainability goals, writes Kateryna M. Wowk, Marine Policy Consultant<\/strong>. The ocean \u2013 and the life-supporting services it provides \u2013 is facing multiple threats including acidification, ocean warming, hypoxia, sea-level rise, pollution, and the overuse of marine resources… <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n

Ending the oceans wild west: why we need a high seas biodiversity agreement<\/p>\n

<\/a> Once seen as boundless, today there is a growing awareness that the world\u2019s oceans are finite and the marine life they hold can indeed be exhausted, writes Nathalie Rey, Greenpeace<\/strong>. Roughly 90% of big fish have been fished out, coral reefs are disappearing, we are choking our oceans with pollution, and climate change is permanently altering their chemistry, with disastrous effects… <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n

Monitoring ocean acidification and its effects: a proposal for Rio+20<\/p>\n

<\/a> The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is calling on the international community to develop, on an urgent basis, an integrated, international program aimed at monitoring the chemical, biological and socio-economic impacts of ocean acidification, write Natural Resources Defeense Council<\/strong>. Such a monitoring network is essential to provide States and coastal communities with the information necessary to prepare for the impacts of ocean acidification on fisheries, corals and marine food webs… <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n

Social aspects of sustainable tourism in the context of sustainable oceans, the green economy and the eradication of poverty<\/p>\n

When the tsunami struck in December 2005 in India, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Thailand, it devastated coastal areas where both tourism and the fishing industry were embedded, write Tourism Concern<\/strong>. The tsunami, for all its monstrous consequences to life and livelihood, none the less offered an opportunity for change… <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Riding the crest of ocean decisions for Rio+20<\/p>\n

<\/a> Many of us are familiar with a common expression that we\u2019d rather regret the things we did, than regret the things we didn\u2019t, writes Joanna Benn, Pew Environment Group<\/strong>. I am writing as governments convene at the UN in New York to discuss the outcome document for Rio+20.

Pacific fisheries need tech to track climate impact<\/p>\n

<\/a> Climate change could derail plans by Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) to use fisheries and aquaculture to foster economic development and food security, writes Johann Bell, Pacific Community<\/strong>. Bottom-dwelling coastal fish are expected to be hardest hit. Under continued high emissions of greenhouse gases, stocks of these fish are estimated to decrease by 20% by 2050 due to global warming and ocean acidification, which affect the fish themselves as well as the coral reefs that support them.. <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Reflections on the negotiations – Wednesday, 25th April<\/p>\n

The G77 continued to work off of CST text, but moved to delete language on the green job creation that it found overly prescriptive.

Outreach is a multi-stakeholder magazine which is published daily at Rio+20 Intersessional and Preparatory Meetings. The articles written are intended to reflect those of the authors alone or where indicated a coalition\u2019s opinion. An individual\u2019s article is the opinion of that author alone, and does not reflect the opinions of all stakeholders.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
