This year&#8217;s celebration also coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the implementation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imo.org\/es\/About\/Conventions\/Pages\/International-Convention-for-the-Prevention-of-Pollution-from-Ships-(MARPOL).aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MARPOL International Convention<\/a>, a regulatory framework focused precisely on the prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships, whether due to operational or accidental causes.<\/p>\n<p>At present, according to the IMO, international <strong>shipping<\/strong> accounts for approximately <strong>80% of the global transport<\/strong> of goods between peoples and communities around the world, which makes it necessary to establish international standards to ensure the safety, security and environmental performance of this transport.<\/p>\n<p>Also, according to UN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/es\/oceans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data<\/a> , there are currently<strong> more than three billion people who depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods<\/strong>, and it is estimated that, by 2030, there will be around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/es\/observances\/oceans-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">40 million workers<\/a> in the ocean-related sector.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this close link, seafarers&#8217; activities can be <strong>valuable tools<\/strong> to promote knowledge and conservation of the richness of the natural heritage. Globally, <strong>the ocean contains nearly 200,000 identified species<\/strong>, but the actual numbers may be in the millions. Spain is also one of the countries with the greatest marine biodiversity in Europe, with nearly <strong>14,000 known species<\/strong>, which makes it essential to promote their protection.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, from MITECO&#8217;s Biodiversity Foundation we continue working to achieve a sustainable ocean and healthy marine ecosystems, strengthening the <strong>collaboration and integration of se<\/strong>afarers. Thus, the Foundation has been included in the Operational Program of the European Maritime Fund for Fisheries and Aquaculture (FEMPA). With this, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.programapleamar.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pleamar Programme<\/a> will have continuity within the framework of the EMFAF, redoubling its objective of supporting the fisheries and aquaculture sector in its commitment to increasingly sustainable activities, reducing marine pollution and promoting the ecological transition to improve knowledge and the protection, conservation and restoration of the marine environment. In addition, in this period, <strong>aspects related to the protection<\/strong> and improvement of knowledge of the marine environment through research, the strengthening of governance, the reduction of the impact of fishing and the improvement of environmental knowledge of aquaculture will be reinforced.<\/p>\n<p>To this end, the focus will be <strong>on the aspects of collaboration<\/strong> between scientific, sectorial and environmental agents. In addition, various improvements will be made to the administrative and economic management of the projects to simplify internal management aspects. To this end, it is proposed to publish only two calls for proposals and to support projects with a more transformative approach that can be developed over several years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":45771,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"palabras_clave":[],"class_list":["post-47121","actualidad_home","type-actualidad_home","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Seafarers&#039;
