I collect biggame fish for various marine institutions.

Fishing gear can inflict lethal cuts and wounds on fish and marine wildlife.

Marine debris is a global transboundary pollution problem that constitutes a serious threat to human health and safety, endangers fish stocks, marine biodiversity and marine habitats and has significant costs to local and national economies.

We strongly believe that all States should apply effective measures for the conservation, management and exploitation of fish stocks in order to protect living marine resources and preserve the marine environment.

Concerned that marine pollution from all sources, including vessels and, in particular, land based sources, constitutes a serious threat to human health and safety, endangers fish stocks, marine biodiversity and marine habitats and has significant costs to local and national economies,

Concerned that marine pollution from all sources, including vessels and in particular land based sources, constitutes a serious threat to human health and safety, endangers fish stocks, marine biodiversity and marine habitats and has significant costs to local and national economies,

Various types of MPAs that range from sustainable use to no take have been proven to effectively preserve endangered marine species and rapidly increase fish biomass by allowing fish to reproduce undisturbed.

Concerned that marine pollution from all sources, including vessels and, in particular, land based sources, constitutes a serious threat to human health and safety, endangers fish stocks, marine biodiversity and marine and coastal habitats and has significant costs to local and national economies,

Harvesting of marine fish resources in India takes place at three levels, namely, subsistence fishing, small scale fishing and industrial fishing.

We have more sharks, more biomass of snappers, more biomass of herbivores, too, like these parrot fish that are like marine goats.

Methyl mercury bio accumulates up the marine food chain to create high concentrations in predatory species of fish such as shark, swordfish and tuna, as well as marine mammals such as whales, dolphins and porpoises.

I will focus on three main topics in my statement today the evaluation of the 1995 Fish Stocks Agreement, the sustainable management of living marine resources and protection of the marine environment, and maritime security.

The agreements often result in the depletion of fish stocks, limited fishing access to hereditary fishing areas, and damage to the marine ecosystem.

240. The Greenpeace Principles advocated low impact fisheries , with the objective of shifting fisheries management from maximizing short term profits to minimizing environmental impacts, especially the risk of irreversible harm to fish stocks, marine wildlife and marine ecosystems.

Such management practices will have to emphasize the rebuilding of fish populations embedded within functional food chains in large marine ecosystems (see also para. 263).

They include reporting by fishing vessels of lost or discarded fishing gear periodic surveys of marine debris on beaches and in seal and penguin colonies near coastal stations reporting accidental entanglement(s) in, or ingestion of, marine debris by birds, marine mammals, fish and other animals and recording observations of marine mammals and seabirds soiled with hydrocarbons such as fuel oil.

103. Urges all States to implement the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land based ActivitiesA 51 116, annex II. and to accelerate activity to safeguard the marine ecosystem, including fish stocks, against pollution and physical degradation

(e) Application of the marine ecosystem concept and of the precautionary principle to the management of living resources has spread from the regional to the global level, as is exemplified by the 1995 Agreement on Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks

Recalling the importance of marine science in promoting the sustainable management of the oceans and seas, including in the assessment, conservation, management and sustainable use of fish stocks,

Big fish eat little fish.

Fish again? Not fish again.

(d) Short , medium and long term ecosystem management mechanisms to address and prevent the decline and extinction of associated species, including fish, billfish, sea turtles, seabirds and marine mammals

Targeting highly migratory predatory fish species including tuna and swordfish, industrial longlines also catch or kill as many as 4.4 million sea turtles, billfish, sharks, marine mammals and seabirds.

Marine environment and marine living resources

A fish. A cold largeheaded fish.

The international legal framework within which commercial vessels flying Ukraine's flag can fish on the high seas consists of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Fish Stocks Agreement and the 1980 Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.

Some delegations referred to the adoption by FAO of international guidelines for the ecolabelling of fish and fishery products from marine capture fisheries, and the recommendation by the FAO Committee on Fisheries to prepare international guidelines on the ecolabelling of fish and fishery products from inland fisheries.

Longlining threatens the survival of artisanal and subsistence fishing communities, large predatory fish stocks, sea turtles, marine mammals and sea birds to provide seafood that is too dangerous to eat.

Marine environment, marine resources and sustainable development

The big fish eats the little fish.

But our challenge is to implement such measures and to encourage States to comply with them in order to stop the depletion of fish stocks and the destruction of marine biodiversity.

XI. Marine environment, marine resources and sustainable development

I believe this fish is a freshwater fish.

I'm not like that Fish Kite. Fish kite?

As a responsible fishing State and a State party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan is earnest about addressing conservation and management problems, as well as sustainable use issues related to living marine resources, including straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks.

178. Oman has indicated that by catch, fish discards and post harvest losses were a problem for Oman owing to the characteristics of a marine ecosystem embracing a multitude of different species.

An analysis of global fish catches over the past five decades, from data collected by FAO, found that there has been a gradual depletion of larger and more commercially valuable species of fish high in the food chain (such as cod and haddock) and a corresponding rise of less valuable marine organisms and fish low in the food chain (such as anchovy). The results suggest a marked decline in the quality of the fish catch worldwide.

318. A variety of terms are used for marine protected areas,69 such as marine sanctuary , marine reserve , marine park , protected seascape or wildlife sanctuary .
