Dear
Readers of ENB and Linkages Update and subscribers to our “L” lists
(please excuse the cross postings);
On the
occasion of the Third Global Conference on Oceans, Coasts, and
Islands, which opens today in Paris at UNESCO, IISD Reporting
Services is pleased to announce the launch of OCEANS-L in
cooperation with Global Forum on Oceans, Coasts and Islands.
(Coverage of the Third Global Conference can be found at http://www.iisd.ca/ymb/globaloceans3/)
OCEANS-L,
like our other “L” lists (FORESTS-L, CLIMATE-L, WATER-L and
CHEMICALS-L), will provide a common electronic resource for
organizations who wish to post information on their oceans
activities. Messages sent to the list address will be distributed to
all subscribers to OCEANS-L.
2006 will
be a busy year for international meetings related to oceans,
beginning with the Third Global Conference on Oceans, Coasts and
Island and followed by the United Nations Ad Hoc Working Group on
Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biodiversity in Areas
Beyond National Jurisdiction in February.
There will also be the Review Conference on the Agreement for the
Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly
Migratory Fish Stocks in May, the Seventh Meeting of the Open-Ended
Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea in
June and the Second Intergovernmental Review of the Global Programme
of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from
Land-Based Activities next October.
