Draft Guidelines for Drafters and Negotiators of the Protocol on Integrated Coastal Zone Management to the Nairobi Convention

Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) has grown conceptually and operationally mainly in the last four decades since its inception in the United States of America in the early 1970s. The concept and practice of ICZM is not yet well understood, although it has gained widespread acceptance as a management system and vehicle for rational and sustainable utilization of coastal zone resources and uses.
ICZM may be described generally as the management of human activities for sustainable use of coastal resources through proper policy management and technological interventions. It is deemed to be a useful management system that provides the essential approaches, methodologies, and a management framework for the attainment of sustainable development.

No Net Loss of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services: Applying the Mitigation Hierarchy and Biodiversity Offsets as tools to achieve sustainable development in the WIO - Session 9: From Science to Policy Paper 1

The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) is one of the richest regions of the world for biodiversity. It comprises diverse ecosystems both in terms of biodiversity and the ecosystem services provided, as is the case of coral reefs and mangroves. These areas are important for both wildlife and human populations; offering breeding and foraging areas for flagship marine and migratory species and providing protection for communities and property against storms, sea level rise and coastal erosion. The coastal population of the region is largely dependent on the health and productivity of these and other ecosystems through fishing, coastal agriculture, and tourism.

Development of the Western Indian Ocean Action Plan on Marine Litter and Microplastics - Session 5: Management of Marine Litter and Municipal Wastewater in the Western Indian Ocean Paper 1

Marine litter and micro-plastics has recently taken a top slot in the political and public agenda on the health and integrity of the world’s oceans. Over 80% of marine pollution that constitute marine litter and micro-plastics is from land based sources , largely associated with diverse anthropogenic activities such as increasing use of synthetic materials, industrialization and urbanization of coastal areas, where disposal and waste management practices are inadequate. To effectively manage marine litter, an adequate knowledge is necessary about drivers, sources, types, amount and dispersion. Policy measures are then needed to address the generation of marine litter and micro-plastics, in particular those that can be prevented at the sources.

Conservation and Management of Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) in the Western Indian Ocean - Session 8: From Science to Policy Paper 1

The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) has been identified as a global hotspot for chondrichthyan diversity, with 130 shark, 86 batoid (wedgefishes, skates and rays) and 11 chimaera species identified to date. The WIO is one of four global hotspots for chondrichthyan evolutionary distinctiveness, giving the region’s chondrichthyans a high irreplaceability index, and highlighting the need for their conservation.

Coastal Cities in WIO Region: New opportunities for the Nairobi Convention - Session 10: Emerging Issues Paper 1

Coastal cities are dynamic, complex systems which need energy, water, food and other resources to function and support diverse activities. If managed properly cities have the potential to offer better socio-economic conditions and quality of life to residents as well as the wider nation within which they are situated. The integrated adaptive management and sustainable development of coastal cities is therefore essential. Inputs from science, technology, architecture, socio-economic information, and planning, all contributing key insights and perspectives.

Governance of the South West Indian Ocean Seamounts

Seamounts are mostly located on mid-oceanic rifts or intra-plate hot spots. There ~1000 large seamounts in South West Indian Ocean, of which half are listed within EEZs. Because of their volcanic origin, seamounts contain mineral resources. Their extraction cost remains prohibitive to be profitable (but the situation could change in the coming decades).
