NEWSLETTER MAY 2006
News
Dear UN Atlas member,
Celebrations for the recent 2006 EarthDay focused on climate change. Today the negative impacts of global warming are being recognized worldwide and action is being taken to help reverse trends. Our oceans are very vulnerable to climate change which can cause effects on aquatic life, sea levels and coral reefs but to name a few. This month's newsletter contains recent information on climate change, including new plans to help reduce gas emissions.
We also feature a new topic describing the International Seabed Authority which, operating under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, is the body responsible for organizing and controlling all resources-related explorations and exploition activities in the international seabed area.
If this newsletter may interest someone you know, please forward it. Contribute to and participate in the growing Atlas community by becoming an active Member of the UN Atlas today.
Thank you,
The UN Atlas of the Oceans Editors
