#OceanAction41653
Description
Esto requiere de mayores medidas de proteccion y un punto de partida es crear el Santuario de Mamiferos Marinos, declarando las aguas interiores maritimas, el mar territorial, la zona economica exclusiva de la Republica Argentina y las reas adyacentes a esta ltima sobre las cuales exista jurisdiccion nacional, de acuerdo con las leyes y tratados internacionales, como Zona de Proteccion Integral de mamiferos marinos.
Este Santuario fortalecer los marcos legales existente para que garanticemos que los mamiferos marinos esten libres de la amenaza de la cacera y capturas dirigidas con cualquier finalidad, que atente contra su bienestar o la persistencia de sus poblaciones. Sus objetivos seran:
a) Propender a la proteccion y conservacion de las poblaciones de mamiferos marinos, as como del ambiente necesario para su persistencia.
b) Proteger los espacios claves para el desarrollo de su ciclo de vida, enfatizando las reas de cria, apareamiento, alimentacion y rutas migratorias.
c) Promover estudios cientificos basados exclusivamente en tecnicas no letales, que contribuyan a aumentar el conocimiento y la conservacion de los mamiferos marinos a largo plazo.
El Santuario de Mamiferos Marinos, va total en consonancia con la creacion de reas marinas protegidas (costeras y pelagicas) y con la poltica de conservacio de mamiferos marinos que la Repblica Argentina ha mantenido a lo largo de los anios, tanto en foros internacionales como en la politica nacional. Su aprobacoin permitir la concrecion de un Plan de Accion que establezca las prioridades de conservacion, considerando la realidad actual del Mar Argentino. y reforzar la propuesta de Argentina, Brasil, Gabon, Sudafrica y Uruguay para crear un Santuario de Ballenas en el Oecano Atlantico Sur ante la Comision Ballenera Internacional. Los pases del Atlantico Sudoccidental ya han declarado sus aguas territoriales Santuario para ballenas y delfines y tan solo falta Argentina.
Para lograrlo, seguiremos articulando acciones con organizaciones no gubernamentales y con los diputados que redactaron el proyecto de Ley 1572-D-2017 a fin de lograr su aprobacion durante el ani legislativo 2017 y luego promover su reglamentacion para poder avanzar en planes de conservacion de las especies de mamiferos marinos que habitan el mar argentino.
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
