Just as it was adopted, this Plan of Action has the same characteristics of the other Regional Seas Programmes that the United Nations Environment Programme, UNEP, has promoted. The Permanent Commission of the South Pacific (CPPS), which is the appropriate marine organism created in 1952, has been appointed for its regional coordination.
