IMO’s Fredrik Haag, Technical Officer, Marine Environment Division has today (18 February) given a remote presentation “Shipping: The Lifeblood of World Trade” to a workshop on “Linking Global and Regional Levels in the Management of Marine Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction”, held at the Food and Agricultural Organization Headquarters in Rome, as part of the GEF-funded Global sustainable fisheries management and biodiversity conservation in the Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction Program (ABNJ).
This five-year programme is an effort to promote a broad-scale, innovative approach to achieve efficient and sustainable management of fisheries resources and biodiversity conservation in marine areas that do not fall under the responsibility of any one country.
