The global fishing industry has faced increased regulations over recent decades, as multiple fish stocks have dwindled and a broad awareness of the need for careful fisheries management has grown. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) provides the legal framework for sustainable fisheries both in areas within national jurisdiction and beyond national jurisdiction. However, little data exist on national regulations – in part due to the lack of internationally-harmonised definitions of fisheries management. Most countries have their own definitions and policies within their territorial waters, while international waters fall under the purview of UNCLOS (UN 1982). While the FAO collects the most reliable summary statistics on global fish stocks and their associated management (FAO 2016), no organisation collects information on specific regulations pertaining to international fisheries. Situated between the national and international management levels, the several Regional Seas programmes may be most strategically placed to collect data on national and trans-border fishing regulations.

Operational coastal and marine observing platforms and laboratories that generate research and operational oceanography/meteorological products to multiple users including providing the science and evidence base for national policy and strategic planning are key for advancements in SDG 14 (Oceans). Funding for marine technology research is essential for understanding our oceans; however, funding must also be coupled with well-functioning educational institutions, communities of experts, observing platforms, and high-quality data streams, in order to understand whether marine technology is effective in improving ocean health and dependent human wellbeing. The assembly of data to support indicator development and assessment should be well mapped out and integrated into the functions of existing technical working groups such as the International Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Group of Experts on Capacity Development.
