| dc.description | This document presents the framework for regional cooperation to protect the marine environment and coastal areas of the South-East Pacific. It outlines legal instruments and protocols agreed upon by the coastal states of the region. The document details strategies for pollution control, environmental management, and coordinated emergency response to marine contamination, with specific obligations addressing pollution sources such as land-based activities, vessels, and atmospheric inputs. It also establishes mechanisms for scientific collaboration, information exchange, monitoring, and assessment. Parties are committed to developing national contingency plans, harmonizing regulations, and progressively implementing stricter pollution prevention measures, while maintaining avenues for technical assistance and regular intergovernmental reviews. | en |
