Contributions of marine area-based management tools to the UN sustainable development goals

Area-Based Management Tools (ABMTs) are spatial instruments for conservation and managing different forms of ocean use. A multitude of ABMTs exists in marine areas within and beyond national jurisdiction, ranging from tools for the regulation of specific human activities (e.g. fisheries, shipping, or mining) to cross-sectoral tools (e.g. such as marine protected areas, MPAs, and marine spatial planning, MSP). By applying expert elicitation and reviewing scientific and grey literature we evaluate the contribution of ABMTs to sustainable development goals (SDGs) as set out under the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including for SDG 14 that directly addresses the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources. We find that fisheries-related and conservation-related ABMTs, and MSP offer the greatest potential contributions to SDG 14 and to SDGs in general. Moreover, there is high complementarity and synergy among different ABMTs for most SDG 14 targets and other SDGs, with the exception of SDG target 14.6 Prohibit fisheries subsidies and SDG 7 Affordable and clean energy. We find that some ABMTs contribute directly to goal attainment, while others contribute in more nuanced or even unexpected ways. Furthermore, context-specific factors that relate to political and legal factors, enforceability, transparency, governance structure, and inclusivity are crucial for unlocking the full potential of ABMTs of attaining multiple SDGs, as shown through examples. The major challenge to face in the next decade is ensuring durable and equitable outcomes from ABMT implementation by coordinating ABMT initiatives established by different organisations and responsible authorities. It is also critical that outcomes are monitored and evaluated across environmental, social, economic, governance, and health dimensions, with indicators addressing management effectiveness and not only ABMT area coverage.

Elfogtak egy adócsalás miatt korábban hét év börtönbüntetésre ítélt, szlovák állampolgárságú férfit Halásztelken – közölte a Készenléti Rendőrség Nemzeti Nyomozó Iroda.

A közlemény szerint “az 56 éves, szlovák állampolgárságú férfit a magyar fejvadászok fogták el”.

A Készenléti Rendőrség Nemzeti Nyomozó Iroda munkatársai a Célkörözési Egységek Európai Hálózatának (ENFAST) szlovák egységétől kaptak jelzést arról, hogy M. Péter, aki az adócsalás miatt rá kiszabott hét év börtönbüntetés elől menekül, Magyarországon tartózkodhat.

A nyomozók 24 órán belül megállapították az európai elfogatóparancs alapján körözött férfi tartózkodási helyét, és a Készenléti Rendőrség Különleges Szolgálatok Igazgatósága munkatársainak segítségével pénteken Halásztelken elfogták a szlovák állampolgárt; kiadatásáról a magyar bíróság dönt.
