Description
The Peruvian maritime domain extends along 3,000 km of coast approximately, and up to a distance of 200 nautical miles from the coast, occupying a geographical area of 1,140 646 km2 approximately. This oceanic area of the South Pacific is one of the most productive in the planet as for fishing activity, so it requires appropriate means to cover its extension and protect maritime biodiversity in this area. In this sense, the Peruvian State has created the investment project called “Expansion of capacity to carry out coastguard surface operations with Offshore Patrol Vessels in the Maritime Domain and SAR area of responsibility.” This project takes into account building of THREE (3) Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) to safeguard human life at sea, protect the environment and combat illicit activities, with possibility to cover a longer extension of the mentioned vast oceanic space and with a greater extension of operations. Functions of these Units include protection of the environment, such as care of biodiversity and fight against ocean pollution, and suppression of illicit activities, such as illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, in pursuit of protecting one of the world’s most biologically diverse and productive maritime areas. Follow-up methodology for this commitment will take place depending on advance of execution of the investment project called “Expansion of capacity to carry out coastguard surface operations with Offshore Patrol Vessels in the Maritime Domain and SAR area of responsibility.”, which is expressed in percentage including factors, such as construction progress and budgetary implementation, among others. Once the Coast Guard Surface Unit are built, the follow-up will be changed to that based on operational factors related to protection of the environment and preservation of the maritime biodiversity.

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
