Dear UN Atlas Member,

As the latest round of UN climate change negotiations kicks off at the end of the month, our newsletter looks at climate change and what this means for oceans and coastal communities. The talks, taking place in Durban, South Africa, will bring together representatives of the world's governments, international organizations and civil society. Check out the COP-17 site to follow events where the UN-Oceans, the United Nations coordination mechanism for oceans and coastal issues working closely with the UN Atlas of the Oceans, will feature an official side event on ocean acidification.

Learn about A Blueprint for Oceans and Coastal Sustainability, a paper just launched by UN agencies which sets out 10 proposals to improve the management of oceans and coastal areas. In this month's newsletter, you will also find new topics on the safety of fishing vessels and the implementation of maritime safety, as well as information on ice thinning, recent explorations, flooding of coastal cities and more.

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
