Implementation of an integrated approach to coastal and marine ecosystems for sustainable blue growth in the Southeast Pacific (SPINCAM Project Phase 3)
(

#OceanAction41497
Description
SPINCAM 3 proposes a sustainable and integrated model for marine spatial planning (MSP) and sustainable blue growth for the region requiring a greater knowledge of the coast and the ocean, by improving access to information and highly promoting stakeholders participation.
The Southeast Pacific countries pledged to make every effort needed to address pollution from land and marine sources through the Lima Convention, and also to protect and preserve the fragile, vulnerable or unique natural or cultural value of ecosystems through the proper management of marine protected areas.
MSP will undoubtedly ensure effective and sustainable management of activities in the Southeast Pacific through the institutional recommendations that are envisaged as final outcomes of this project.
The SPINCAM 3 consortium is made up of the main financial donor to the project, the Government of Flanders of the Kingdom of Belgium and the coordinating partners, which are, at the international level, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC-UNESCO) and, at the regional level, the Permanent Commission for the Southeast Pacific (CPPS), as well as the national institutional and technical representatives of Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru, known as national and technical focal points.
In addition, the IOC-UNESCOs Project Office in Ostend (Kingdom of Belgium), which coordinates the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE), is considered a partner of the project. IODE also coordinates the OceanTeacher Global Academy, the International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN), the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS), OceanExpert and OceanDocs projects.

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
