Regional
reports on the state of the marine and coastal environment
UNEP Regional Seas: "Our seas are rich in shallow
tropical marine species, our estuaries are lined with
extensive mangroves, and our islands are sheltered by
magnificent coral reefs. But if our environment is remarkable,
our environmental problems are all too mundane: expanding
human populations, oil transport across the Arabian
Sea, heavy use of agricultural and industrial chemicals,
harmful fishing practices, and ill-planned land use.
These pressures have destroyed important habitat, driven
many wildlife species near to extinction, and altogether
compromised our peoples’ future".
GUNEP:
