Objectif de développement durable n°14 sur l’océan: Quelques éclairages sur les subventions à la pêche, le bruit et les plastiques
AI summary Read the abstract
This report analyzes the progress and challenges associated with Sustainable Development Goal 14 (Life Below Water), focusing on ocean-related targets including combating plastic pollution and harmful fisheries subsidies. It provides policy analysis of ocean governance mechanisms relevant to addressing the marine plastic pollution crisis.
The importance of the ocean for sustainable development has been firmly acknowledged in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through Sustainable Development Goal 14. During a workshop organized by the Ocean University Initiative for the French Ministry of Ecological Transition on May 29, 2019 in Brest, some of these goals, notably to manage and combat the negative effects of fisheries subsidies, noise and plastic pollution, were analyzed, enabling the identification of areas for future research detailed in this policy brief. Some research topics are particularly important. Firstly, the implementation of target 14.6 on harmful fishing subsidies requires applied research into the economic, ecological and social impacts of public policies. Secondly, there is a strong need for harmonized measures to assess the impact of noise on marine fauna (invertebrates and vertebrates). Thirdly, marine pollution reduction target 14.1 should initially focus on plastic packaging, which accounts for almost half of the world’s marine plastic waste.
