PARTICIPANTS AT UN-BACKED SUMMIT COMMIT TO IMPROVE OCEAN HEALTH,
SECURE FOOD SECURITYNew York, Apr 25 2014 2:00PMA United
Nations-backed summit wrapped up in the Netherlands today with a set
of concrete actions to turn around the health of the world's oceans
and food security for millions by tackling key threats such as climate
change, overfishing, habitat loss and pollution.

The summit - which brought together hundreds of Government officials,
ocean science experts, business leaders, philanthropists and heads of
international organizations - was an initiative of the Dutch
Government, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the
World Bank.

"This summit has put an accent on action and the route to navigate on
oceans, fisheries management and aquaculture is much clearer than
before," <"http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/230743/icode/">said
Árni M. Mathiesen, FAO Assistant Director-General for Fisheries and
Aquaculture.

Actions agreed at the summit focused specifically on improving
governance, enhancing sustainable financing, building partnerships for
action and sharing knowledge on successful solution implementation.

The gathering called for, among other steps, a stand-alone Sustainable
Development Goal on oceans as part of the post-2015 development
framework; much stronger recognition of the escalating impacts from
climate change on oceans; and eliminating harmful fisheries subsidies
that contribute to overfishing.

Sharing of knowledge, experiences and solutions through information
and communications technology that can enforce and monitor in real
time and connect communities globally was among the other actions
participants called for.

"This summit has presented the way forward for a new type of growth -
blue growth which is sustainable, equitable and takes the value of the
ocean's ecosystem services into account," World Bank representative
Valerie Hickey stated.

'Blue growth' emphasizes conservation and sustainable management of
aquatic resources and equitable benefits to the coastal communities
that rely on them. The term "blue economy" stems from the 2012 UN
Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), and refers to food,
jobs and opportunities for development provided by ocean and coastal
assets.

"Together, we can restore ocean health at the speed and scale
necessary to drive broad-based blue growth, secure food security and
turn down the heat on climate change," added Ms. Hickey. "We have the
set of actions needed - let's move on them now." Apr 25 2014 2:00PM
