NEWSLETTER JUNE 2005
News
01 Jun 2005 - 18 Jan 2016
Dear UN Atlas Member
One of this month's news items features World Environment Day - an annual event celebrated every June 5th and organized by the United Nations Environment Programme, one of the main partners of the UN Atlas of the Oceans. The theme for this year's World Environment Day is ""Green Cities"". A major highlight is the Urban Environmental Accords Green Cities Declaration, to be signed by mayors from more than 60 cities around the world. The Accords cover seven environmental categories - energy, waste reduction, urban design, urban nature, transportation, environmental health, and water - and lay out 21 practical actions that cities can take, including adopting municipal wastewater management guidelines.
The section on Large Marine Ecosystems has been expanded with a new topic on the Gulf of California LME, between Baja California and mainland Mexico. The Gulf is highly productive for shrimp, small pelagics and giant squid and is the most important fishing region for Mexico.
See the other recently added items listed below.
