Dear UN Atlas Member,

As seen at the recent UN World Food Day commemorations, food and energy are interlinked -- and all the more so amid the current global financial crisis and its effects on the poor. This month we look at small-scale fishing communities and poverty; the growing world demand for seafood; and the use of marine protected areas as a management tool for sustainable fisheries.

Turning to the environment, read how the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has been active in reducing wastage of energy and materials through vessel recycling and cleaner emissions from ships.

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
