H. Conservation of Antarctic fauna and flora

Deeply concerned about the destruction of fauna and flora in marine areas beyond national jurisdiction, Costa Rica refrained from any destructive fishing practices such as bottom trawling and supported the adoption of a moratorium on the practice in all oceans and seas.

One delegation noted that where marine protected areas were related to the resources of the deep seabed, the participation of the International Seabed Authority with regard to scientific research, the protection and conservation of the natural resources of the Area and the prevention of damage to the flora and fauna of the marine environment in the Area should be respected as well.

Marine environment, marine resources, marine biodiversity and the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems

The Protocol comprises six annexes, dealing with environmental impact assessment (Annex I), conservation of Antarctic fauna and flora (Annex II), waste disposal and waste management (Annex III), prevention of marine pollution (Annex IV), area protection and management (Annex V) and liability arising from environmental emergencies (Annex VI).

How can we investigate this flora of viruses that surround us, and aid medicine?

The project is being implemented by Fauna and Flora International, a non governmental organization.

And in the case of the flora in our gut, these cells may not even be human.

And for this reason, many people eat probiotic yogurt so they can promote a healthy gut flora.

The secretariat of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora, however, has.

Water and solid samples, as well as samples of flora and fauna, are also chemically processed and analysed.

Increasing evidence suggests a growing role of organized crime in the trafficking of protected species of flora and fauna.

Qin Shanghai, Dean of the Ocean University of China s International Education College, told reporters that marine science, marine organism, marine geology, aquaculture, and utilization of marine bio resource are the distinctive majors of the school.

Enhanced marine scientific research is critical for sustainable exploration and exploitation of marine resources.

(b) Marine debris

Global Marine Assessment

To broaden the awareness about garbage selection, recycling, organic fertilizer factories, reforestation, reintroduction of endemic species of the fauna and flora.

Marine debris, also referred to as marine litter, is any persistent, manufactured or processed solid material discarded, disposed of or abandoned in the marine and coastal environment.

Various chemicals and other dangerous substances from illegal laboratories are polluting lakes, rivers and seas and are harming both flora and fauna.

A review of scientific and technical aspects of Annex II and of the conservation status of Antarctic fauna and flora was initiated.

(e) Report of the Secretary General on illicit trafficking in protected species of wild flora and fauna (E CN.15 2005 10)

It also passed the Environmental Crimes Law in 1998 to expand sanctions in its legal system for crimes against flora in particular.

We must strike a balance between marine resources exploitation and the conservation of the marine environment.

Prevention of marine pollution

As long as the input of non degradable litter into the marine environment continues, the result will be increased quantities of marine litter in the coastal and marine environments.

According to the United States Marine Mammal Commission, 136 marine species have been reported in entanglement incidents in the wider United States area, including 6 species of sea turtles, 51 species of seabirds and 32 species of marine mammals (Marine Mammal Commission, 1996).
