Ocean partnerships for sustainable fisheries and biodiversity conservation: models for innovation and reform

This project, under World Bank coordination, aims to catalyse pilot investment into transformational public-private partnerships that mainstream the sustainable management of highly migratory stocks spanning areas within and beyond national jurisdictions. It will be largely regionally executed among subprojects:

  Bay of Bengal region - small-scale tuna longline fisheries;

  Western Central Pacific Ocean - tuna fisheries prosecuted mainly by distant-water fishing nations;110

  West/Central Atlantic and Caribbean - recreational and commercial small-scale fisheries targeting billfish;

  Eastern Pacific Ocean - increasing the sustainability of the skipjack tuna purse seine fisheries.

In addition, a global think tank will support inter-regional coordination, outreach and collaboration, with a global innovation grant facility supporting a range of innovative activities.

Strengthening global capacity to effectively manage ABNJ

This project, co-executed by the Global Ocean Forum and FAO with a wide range of partners, aims to facilitate global and regional cross-sectoral policy dialogue and coordination, improve knowledge management and outreach, and contribute to increased capacity for decision-making at various levels of ABNJ management. It seeks to accomplish these aims through:

  convening cross-sectoral multistakeholder workshops and high-level dialogues, and coordinating ABNJ Program messaging and outreach;

  developing relevant communities of practice and a regional fellowship programme to strengthen leaders' capacity to manage ABNJ resources and participate more effectively in international discussions;

  establishing a public outreach network and web portal.111

Summing up the ABNJ

Program The Common Oceans ABNJ Program offers an opportunity to move further - and to move together with all partners - by leveraging resources, knowledge and experience to bring about transformational changes leading to improved global sustainable fisheries management and biodiversity conservation in ABNJ.
