ABNJ Deep-sea Project PROJECT COMPONENTS To enhance sustainability in the use of deep-sea living resources and biodiversity conservation in the ABNJ, through the systematic application of an Ecosystem Approach Improved application of policy and legal frameworks Reducing adverse impacts on VMEs and EBSAs Improved planning and adaptive management for ABNJ deep-sea fisheries Development and testing of a methodology for area-based planning
Project 3 - Ocean Partnerships Project -Introduction Project title (revised) Ocean Partnerships for Sustainable Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation - Models for Innovation and Reform GEF Implementation Agency: World Bank Project Partners: Conservation International [Others] Finance: US$10m - GEF US$30m - GPO, World Bank and other
Project 3 - Ocean Partnerships -Scope Coast to Coast Connectivity between coastal zones, EEZ and the ABNJ Areas within which fish and by-catch species (including aquatic animal and seabird biodiversity) migrate and are captured. Fisheries seen as both a threat and opportunity to tackle biodiversity conservation and other development outcomes Unlocking the wealth of fisheries can ensure sustainable contributions to developing countries Triple Bottom Lines Biodiversity & conservation Welfare / food / jobs Economic growth
Project 3 - Ocean Partnerships -What will it do? Define up to six bankable RBM pilots which will . "develop and test technology and management arrangements for both pelagic and deep-sea environments and seamounts [...] in limited pilots that test a range of instruments including market and industry approaches (GEF strategy paper) be demonstrative, influential and transformational fast tracked and able to inform GEF-6. contribute to both GEF (BD and IW) and GPO objectives
Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ Linking global and regional/national processes

Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ OBJECTIVES Facilitate cross-sectoral dialogue and coordination Improve capacity development Improve knowledge management and outreach
Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ CROSS-SECTORAL POLICY DIALOGUES Cross-sectoral multi-stakeholder workshops 2 planned: 2013, December 2014 High-level Dialogues at Major Relevant Ocean-related Meetings World Fisheries Congress, 6th Global Ocean Conference, FAO COFI, 3rd International MPA Congress
Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT Communities of Practice Regional ABNJ Leaders Fellowship Program
Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND OUTREACH Public Outreach Network ABNJ Portal
Project 4 - Strengthening Global Capacity to Effectively Manage ABNJ Next steps Consultation process Project Project formulation and consultations GEF Review GEF Council implementation November 2011 through December 2012 Winter 2013 2013-2017
Conclusions Increased capacity to protect fragile ecosystems Move away from the race to fish TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT Fewer barriers to international and cross-sectoral sharing of knowledge and experiences Move toward EA and rights-based systems
What will the Programme achieve? The projects must lead to changes on the water: who catches the fish what they catch ( and what do they not catch) how much they catch how they catch it where they catch it
