Description:
Ad Hoc Open-ended Informal Working Group to study issues relating to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction.
UN Law of the Sea related site that covers issues relating to the high seas and biodiversity. In particulalr to fisheries this concerns the matters pertinaing to fisheires type impacts on ecosystems in the high sea (e.g. vulnerable marine ecosystems sea mounts, deep sea trawling impacts etc.)

MPA Global - A database of the world's Marine Protected Areas
Use this site to search for Marine Protected areas in your region.
This project falls within the Sea Around Us Project,an activity initiated and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts, and hosted by the University of British Columbia's Fisheries Centre. It is the result of a formal collaboration between the Sea Around Us Project, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), United Nations Environment Programme - World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) and the World Conservation Union - World Commission on Protected Areas (IUCN-WCPA).
This project has two main goals: firstly, to develop a more robust global marine protected area (MPA) baseline than currently exists; and secondly, to develop alternative scenarios of global MPA networks using spatial modelling techniques.
Towards achieving the first goal, this website publishes the world's first explicitly marine-focused database of the world's protected areas that have some intertidal and/or subtidal component. It is currently based largely on information in the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) Version 6.1.

| Coral Reefs - Lessons Learned and Good Practices Toolkit |
Last Update: 2009/1/14 8:24 |
Description:
This project seeks to formalize the experiences, lessons learned from previous GEF projects, as well as major non-GEF initiatives, involving coral reefs and associated ecosystems. One of the aims of the project is that the products are implemented in future coral reef management projects. Itis hoped to develop a network of coral reef managers and researchers who can share their experiences and add to the knowledgebase.
The GEF LL Toolkit is a place to find information about how to design and implement coral reef management strategies. The tools provided on this website are also available through an interactive CD-ROM. This toolkit is a "living knowledgebase" - as knowledge of the issues surrounding coral reef management and how best to approach them improves, revisions of this information can be anticipated. The GEF LL Toolkit is designed to comprise of eight extensive issue streams, each of which is a high priority in coral reef management:
· Project Design
· Project Management
· Community Participation
· Partnerships & Linkages
· Policy, Legislation & Enforcement
· Ecosystem-based Management
· Monitoring & Evaluation of Coral Reef Management
· Capacity, Education & Knowledge Management

ICSF - Social Dimensions of Marine Protected Area (MPAs)  |
Last Update: 2008/8/27 16:44 |
Description:
The International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) has developed a website area devoted to the Social Dimensions of Marine Protected Area (MPAs)with specific relation to fishing communities. alongside legal reviews and other resources there are studies facilitated by ICSF in India, Indonesia South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand and Tanzania, drawing on on-the-ground experiences of fishing communities. Case studies on the effects of MPA's on communities and fisherfolk
