    Description
    Description

    To fulfill the commitment, WWF Peru employs the following strategies: 1) Strategy for the implementation of conservation mechanisms for ecological connectivity, ensuring the protection of priority species and contributing to the effective management of marine-coastal zones. This approach seeks to strengthen the resilience of ecosystems and maintain the natural balance of fishery resources; 2) Empowered local communities strategy emphasizes capacity building for sustainable fisheries management, as well as the development of administrative, accounting and financial skills in fishing organizations and artisanal fishermen. It also promotes the management of fishing reserve zones led by the fishermen themselves, encouraging their active participation in the conservation of their resources and territories; 3) The strategy of sustainable production chains, linked to markets and financial mechanisms, promotes compliance with MSC Standard indicators for squid and periwinkle fisheries, the recording of landings of these species and sharks in catch documentation and traceability systems, and support for the implementation of the National Plan of Action for Sharks and Rays in Peru. These actions seek to strengthen the sustainability of fisheries and their access to responsible markets; 4) Strategy for participatory and effective public policies, aimed at the approval, implementation and strengthening of regulations that promote sustainable fisheries and marine conservation. To this end, the active participation of fishing sector stakeholders in decision-making is guaranteed, promoting an inclusive and evidence-based approach; and, 5) Pollution-Free Pacific Strategy addresses the circular management of waste at landing sites and artisanal vessels, promoting the transition to a circular economy to reduce the impact of single-use plastics. In addition, it promotes the proper municipal management of this waste, contributing to the cleanliness and sustainability of marine ecosystems.

    Goal 14

    Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

    Goal 14

    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
    Average marine acidity (pH) measured at agreed suite of representative sampling stations

    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
    Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels

    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
    Coverage of protected areas in relation to marine areas

    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
    Proportion of total research budget allocated to research in the field of marine technology

    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
