Marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction, United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea

This procedure examines how the international agreement on marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction interacts with existing fisheries management. It aims to ensure that efforts to protect biodiversity in the high seas are coordinated with the sustainable management of fish stocks to prevent overfishing and habitat destruction.

This affects international fishing fleets and regulatory bodies. It seeks to clarify the balance between conserving marine ecosystems and maintaining the legal frameworks that govern commercial fishing in international waters.
