Fyi. From: Lauri MacDougall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 02, 2008 10:19 AM To: 'Lauri MacDougall' Subject: Online papers on Marine Biodiversity in areas beyond nationaljurisdiction FYI: Dear Nilufer, dear David, I trust this message finds you well. You will remember the work that Kristina, Sharelle, colleagues from NILOS/Netherlands, and others have undertaken on Marine Biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) last year. We are very happy to announce that the results of this work have just been published in the form of four online papers - just in time for the current meeting of the Ad Hoc Open Ended Informal Working Group to study issues relating to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction in New York. The four papers, which form part of the new IUCN series on environmental law and policy papers online, are: Paper 1: An Analysis of the Regulatory and Governance Gaps in the International Regime for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biodiversity in Areas beyond National Jurisdiction, Paper 2: Options for Addressing Regulatory and Governance Gaps in the International Regime for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biodiversity in Areas beyond National Jurisdiction, Paper 3: Case Study on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge Paper 4: Elements of a Possible Implementation Agreement to UNCLOS for the conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biodiversity in Areas beyond National Jurisdiction. They are available at www.iucn.org/law - or directly at http://cms.iucn.org/about/work/programmes/environmental_law/index.cfm?uNewsI D=870 and will be presented at an IUCN side event at the Informal Working Group meeting. Please feel free to share the news with the group and interested colleagues. I am also happy to inform you that Jane Bulmer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), our new legal officer, is now on board and part of the IUCN delegation at the Informal Working Group meeting, together with Kristina and others.
