Canada. Biodiversity Convention Office
The BCO was established by Environment Canada in 1991 to coordinate Canadian
involvement in the negotiations for the United Nations Convention on Biological
Diversity. Since the ratification of the Convention, the BCO has turned its
attention to implementation. In pursuit of this the BCO developed the Canadian
Biodiversity Strategy as a guide to implementation of the Convention in Canada.
The Strategy recognizes the importance of marine and coastal biodiversity both
through specific mention under Goal 2 of the Strategy (Sustainable Use) as well
as throughout the other sections of the Strategy. To promote the implementation
of the Strategy in relation to the marine environment the BCO has conducted,
supported or participated in workshops on biodiversity in the marine
environment, the creation of audio-visual material and the preparations for the
Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living
Resources (CCAMLR)
This intergovernmental organization works for
the conservation and rational use of marine living resources in he area south of
60´ South latitude and the area between that latitude and the Antarctic
Convergence. It was founded under a 1982 convention based on an ecosystem wide
approach to the conservation of marine living resources in the Antarctic region
and incorporates standards designed to ensure conservation of both individual
populations and species, and the maintenance of the breadth of the Antarctic
marine ecosystem as a whole. The commission facilitates research; compiles data;
disseminates information; identifies conservation needs; analyzes the
effectiveness of conservation measures; formulates, adopts, and revises
conservation measures; and implements a system of observation and inspection.
This includes the Commission's Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) which
involves the monitoring of several parameters of predatory and prey species
selected as indicators of changes in the Antarctic ecosystem. It also involves
monitoring some parameters of the physical environment, such as sea-ice
distribution and snow cover in colonies of land based predators. Members include
the governments of Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Chile, France,
Germany, Italy, India, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Russia, South Africa, USA,
the EC, Sweden and the UK

(ECNASAP)
ECNASAP was designed to be an information and analytical
resource for conducting assessments supporting integrated management of large
portions of the coastal ocean of North America. It is a joint collaboration
between several Canadian agencies and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's Strategic Environmental Assessments Division of the United
States.

This document provides the
operational plans for inshore and offshore case studies. It describes the
objectives of the case studies as well as their description, methodologies, data
needs, products and task descriptions. The objective of the inshore case study
is to support management of inshore coastal resources by assessing the condition
and harvest status of molluscan shellfish beds and evaluating the probable
causes for problems and options for remediation. The objective of the offshore
case study is to support multi-species management on the continental shelf
within an ecosystem by identifying demersal fish and invertebrate assemblages
and analysing their relationships with habitat, inshore ecosystems, key
exploited species and other major species groups. This project and ECNASAP as a
whole should be considered a 'best case scenario' for the implementation of the
ideas promoted in Agenda 21 of the Earth Summit.

International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES)
Founded in 1902 the ICES is the oldest intergovernmental organization in
the world concerned with marine and fishery science. The ICES is primarily a
forum for the exchange of information and ideas on the seas and their living
resources and for the promotion and coordination of research undertaken by
experts within its member countries. It promotes and coordinates international
investigations of the marine environment and its living resources in the North
Atlantic and adjacent seas and publishes the results of this research to
national governments and regional fisheries management and pollution control
commissions. The scientific work of the ICES is coordinated by its twelve
Subject/Area Committees and its two Advisory Committees: the Advisory Committee
on Fishery Management (ACFM) and the Advisory Committee on the Marine
Environment. Under these committees are approximately 100 Working, Steering, and
Study groups in which most of the basic work of planning new activities and
implementing programmes and projects are carried out. One of the main areas of
ICES work is monitoring the abundance and composition of fish stocks in the NW
Atlantic. The basis of this work is to promote the sustainable use of fisheries
resources. In pursuit of this the ICES devotes considerable resources to the
maintenance of fisheries related databases which contain statistics on nominal
catches, fishing efforts, relevant biological data and abundance indexes. In
addition the ICES maintains databases concerning oceanographic investigations,
and pollution in the marine environment for the purpose of monitoring and
assessment of the state of the marine environment. While the ICES is expanding
to include more multidisciplinary work in it activities ( e.g.. coastal zone
management, the effects of climate change) most of its work is aimed at
sustainable use of fisheries and the marine environment.

initiated in 1974 as a global programme implemented through regional components.
It is a regional approach to the management of marine and coastal resources and
control of marine pollution. The Regional Seas Programme at present comprises 10
regions including the Mediterranean; the Persian Gulf; West and Central Africa;
South-East Pacific; Wider Caribbean; Eastern Africa; East Asian Seas; South
Asia; South West Atlantic; South Pacific. It is an action-oriented Programme
having concern not only for the consequences but also the causes of
environmental degradation and encompassing a comprehensive approach to combating
environmental problems through the integrated management of coastal and marine
areas. The focus for each regional programme is the Action Plan. These Action
Plans are designed to link assessment of the quality of the marine environment
with the causes of its deterioration, leading to activities designed for the
rehabilitation and improvement in the short term and comprehensive protection
and management for sustainable development in the longer term.
