A global initiative to strengthen Regional Seas Convention and Action plans and enhance co-operation : Regional Seas Strategic Directions for 2004-2007

Abstract

The strategic directions, listed below, aim at strengthening the Regional Seas Programme (RSP) at the global level. They are intended to complement the implementation of the programmes of work of the individual Regional Seas, as well as the decisions of the governing bodies of the Regional Seas Conventions and Action Programmes. They provide an opportunity to improve efficiency, individually and collectively, in the RSPs, increase cooperation, and incorporate new elements in future programmes of work.
