Indicator name Proportion of national exclusive economic zones managed using ecosystem-based approaches
Target name By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans.
Global indicator description While requiring some further development for practical implementation, the indicator is similar to UNEP indicators to monitor progress on marine and coastal EBM under its biannual programme of work. UNEP, IOC and FAO are available to support countries in operationalizing the indicator. Linkages can be explored with IUCN's 'Green List' and the 'Ocean Health Index'. A technical working group to finalise the details could be supported by UNEP, IOC, FAO winter/spring 2016.
