The Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction Program (ABNJ) -- often referred to as Common Oceans -- is a broad-scale, innovative approach to achieve efficient and sustainable management of fisheries resources and biodiversity conservation in marine areas that do not fall under the responsibility of any one country. To achieve this goal, the Program is comprised of four specific areas of work: - Sustainable management of tuna fisheries & biodiversity - Sustainable use of deep-sea living resources & biodiversity - Oceans Partnership for sustainable fisheries & biodiversity conservation - Strengthening global capacity to effectively manage ABNJ In this interview, Jeremy Turner, FishCode Manager, Fisheries and Aquaculture Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), provides a general overview of the program and its primary goal to promote efficient and sustainable management of fisheries resources and biodiversity conservation.
