#OceanAction41652
Description
Como parte de la Metodologa, la Formulacin de la Estrategia busca en primera instancia, establecer el Comit Nacional de Tortugas Marinas, donde estn representados entidades gubernamentales, Organismos Cientficos, Universidades, organizaciones regionales y representantes de la sociedad civil. Este es un rgano colegiado a nivel nacional, es un foro cientfico y tcnico, en el que se analizarn todos los temas relacionados con la investigacin, manejo, monitoreo, gestin de la informacin, participacin ciudadana, entre otros, con el fin de poder obtener datos estadsticos e informacin que sea compatible a nivel de pas. Lo anterior va a permitir contar con informacin fiable para la toma de decisiones en todos los mbitos relacionados con el tema de conservacin de las tortugas marinas.
Seguimiento: Con este tipo de informacin va a ser posible Implementar planes de conservacin y programas de vigilancia tanto a nivel nacional como local, tomar medidas para proteger sitios de anidacin de tortugas bala y carey, incluyendo los hbitats asociados, evitando el trfico de productos y subproductos de tortugas. Establecer programas de educacin ambiental, asesorar a proyectos que inician sus operaciones en la conservacin de playas tortugueras con expertos de reconocida experiencia, establecer programas de capacitacin sobre manejo de playas, dotar de herramientas administrativas a las comunidades locales para la administracin de sus proyectos, capacitacin en temas ambientales, entre otros. Incluir medidas de mitigacin de la captura incidental incluyendo formacin de personal de gobierno en tcnicas de manipulacin y liberacin de tortugas marinas a bordo de embarcaciones palangreras, capacitacin de capitanes y tripulacin de la flota nacional de palangre, diseo de herramientas y equipo de manipulacin y liberacin de tortugas marinas, materiales educativos, entre otros.

SDGS & Targets
Goal 14
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
14.1
By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
14.1.1
(a) Index of coastal eutrophication; and (b) plastic debris density
14.2
By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
14.2.1
Number of countries using ecosystem-based approaches to managing marine areas
14.3
Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
14.3.1
14.4
By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as determined by their biological characteristics
14.4.1
14.5
By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information
14.5.1
14.6
By 2020, prohibit certain forms of fisheries subsidies which contribute to overcapacity and overfishing, eliminate subsidies that contribute to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and refrain from introducing new such subsidies, recognizing that appropriate and effective special and differential treatment for developing and least developed countries should be an integral part of the World Trade Organization fisheries subsidies negotiation
14.6.1
Degree of implementation of international instruments aiming to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
14.7
By 2030, increase the economic benefits to Small Island developing States and least developed countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism
14.7.1
Sustainable fisheries as a proportion of GDP in small island developing States, least developed countries and all countries
14.a
Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
14.a.1
14.b
Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets
14.b.1
Degree of application of a legal/regulatory/policy/institutional framework which recognizes and protects access rights for small‐scale fisheries
14.c
Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources by implementing international law as reflected in United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which provides the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources, as recalled in paragraph 158 of "The future we want"
14.c.1
Number of countries making progress in ratifying, accepting and implementing through legal, policy and institutional frameworks, ocean-related instruments that implement international law, as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, for the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and their resources
