Fifth meeting of the Ad Hoc Open-ended Informal Working Group to study issues relating to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction

7-11 May 2012 | UN Headquarters, New York, United States of America
Highlights for Thursday, 10 May 2012

On Thursday morning, the Working Group heard a report of the work of the Open-ended Friends of the Co-Chairs group, which reconvened throughout the day to discuss a Co-Chairs' non-paper on the Working Group's recommendations. In the evening, Co-Chair Lijnzaad reported that the Friends of the Co-Chairs group had nearly finished a first reading of the draft recommendations and would continue its work into the evening.

Greenpeace, WWF, Pew Environment Group, Deep Sea Conservative Coalition, Natural Resources Defense Council, the Marine Conservation Institute and the International Ocean Noise Coalition urged states favoring an implementing agreement to stand their ground while the closed-door deliberations continue, and ensure this meeting's outcome does not undermine efforts that will be made at Rio+20.
