That's the Pacific Gyre.

And so you can see this current coming up in this case, the Humboldt Current that comes all the way out to the Galapagos Islands, and this deep undersea current, the Cromwell Current, that upwells around the Galapagos.

Such programmes are already being implemented in the LMEs of the Gulf of Mexico, the Guinea Current and the Humboldt Current.

Large scale pelagic drift net fishing

Thankfully, the flux, in other words, the flow of emissions from the ocean to the atmosphere and vice versa, is more or less balanced.

Picks up moisture as it crosses the ocean.

Not the pie kind, darling, the ocean kind.

The Sargasso Sea, for example, is not a sea bounded by coastlines, but it is bounded by oceanic currents that contain and envelope this wealth of sargassum that grows and aggregates there.

And third is that we need to look at ocean basin wide management.

We will be present throughout the volume of the ocean, at will, communicating in real time.

(b) Several major observational programmes are pursued by WCRP the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) and the Arctic Climate System Study (ACSYS).

Many of the deep sea communities have genetic distribution that goes ocean basin wide.

It looks like there are rivers on it, there are oceans or lakes, we know there are clouds. We think it's raining also on it.

I then, in the last few years, learned about the Pacific garbage patch and the gyre.

In the area of large marine eco systems, attention will be given to the Humboldt Current and the Gulf of Mexico.

The proposal was also designed to bring the consideration of oceans and the law of the sea, which had diminished after the conclusion of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea in 1982, back into the mainstream of activities of the United Nations.

Concerned that the practice of large scale pelagic drift net fishing remains a threat to marine living resources,

Expressing concern that the practice of large scale pelagic drift net fishing remains a threat to marine living resources,

But it's extremely difficult to move oil absorbent against the winds, the surface currents and the waves.

You can see in its shape and its streamlined design it's powered for ocean swimming.

Major periodic coordination meetings are organized among the regional seas to share experiences, to which the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources is also invited.

The East Asia and the Pacific region covers a diversity of situations in its 28 programme countries, with such cross border problems as Avian flu, SARS and the Indian Ocean tsunami.

And now comes the technology into it, because with this new way of communicating electronically these kids can communicate with each other around the world.

Flows to Central Asia and West Asia went up as a result of higher oil investment, while flows to the Pacific subregion increased marginally.

We need to work locally, but we also need to work ocean basin wide.

In spite of deposit fees, much of this trash leading out to the sea will be plastic beverage bottles.

After 20 years, we see emerging the debris accumulation zone of the North Pacific Gyre.

And all of this is played out against the backdrop of transient pack ice that moves with wind and tide.

Pacific region, 1999 2002

Formulation and implementation of improved solid waste management programmes in small rural communities to prevent litter from escaping into rivers and the marine and coastal environment

Nitrogen run off by fossil fuel based fertilisers poisons rivers and seas, creating enormous dead zones.

65. Invites Member States and, where appropriate, competent international organizations to identify focal points for the exchange of practical and administrative information concerning law of the sea and ocean issues with the Secretariat

Oceans and the law of the sea large scale pelagic drift net fishing, unauthorized fishing in zones of national jurisdiction and on the high seas, fisheries by catch and discards, and other developments

They identified the main sources of debris in the ocean and in coastal areas as poorly managed landfills, waste carried by wind from urban areas and by sewage systems and rivers into the ocean, as well as shipping.

69. In this connection, the United States indicated that, in 1997, the United States Coast Guard, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Canadian Maritime Forces continued to carry out surveillance activities in the North Pacific areas that in the past had been routinely fished by drift net vessels.

Climate change, ocean acidification, dissolved oxygen, carbon cycle, coastal upwelling, fishing dynamics the full spectrum of earth science and ocean science simultaneously in the same volume.

The group noted in this context that there might be marine transport of POPs through currents, or through repeated dissipation and condensation, as well as through migrating marine species.

Mars had rivers, Mars had lakes, but more important Mars had planetary scale oceans.
