Dear UN Atlas Member,

World Wetlands Day 2007, celebrated every February 2, focuses this year's campaign on wetlands and fisheries. Learn more about the role that inland and coastal wetlands play in supporting fisheries at all levels.

Delegates from some 60 nations recently adopted the first joint plan to combat overfishing of tuna at their meeting in Japan - a welcome step for the conservation of tuna. Check out the UN Atlas's new topic on surfing and explore the many facets of this popular sport - from its history to the boom in surf tourism.
