marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from
land-based activities, including marine debris
and nutrient pollution 14.1.1 Index of coastal eutrophi-
cation
and floating plastic debris density
14.2 By 2020, sustainably manage and protect
marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid signif-
icant adverse impacts, including by strength-
ening their resilience, and take action for their
restoration in order to achieve healthy and
productive oceans 14.2.1 Proportion of national
exclusive economic zones managed
using
ecosystem-based approaches
14.3 Minimize and address the impacts of ocean
acidification, including through enhanced scien-
tific cooperation at all levels 14.3.1 Average marine acidity (pH)
measured at agreed suite of repre-
sentative sampling stations
14.4 By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting
and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and
unregulated fishing and destructive fishing
practices and implement science-based man-
agement plans, in order to restore fish stocks
in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels
that can produce maximum sustainable yield as
determined by their biological characteristics 14.4.1 Proportion of fish stocks
within biologically sustainable
levels
14.5 By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of
coastal and marine areas, consistent with
national and international law and based on
the best available scientific information 14.5.1 Coverage of protected areas
in relation to marine areas
14.6 By 2020, prohibit certain forms of fisheries
subsidies which contribute to overcapacity and
overfishing, eliminate subsidies that contribute
to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
and refrain from introducing new such subsi-
dies, recognizing that appropriate and effective
special and differential treatment for developing
and least developed countries should be an
integral part of the World Trade Organization
fisheries subsidies negotiation* 14.6.1 Progress by countries in the
degree of implementation of
international instruments aiming
to combat illegal, unreported and
