69. Recalls the richness of the marine, coastal and terrestrial ecosystems of the participating countries; notes that the Adriatic Sea is home to nearly half (49 %) of all recorded Mediterranean marine species and is the most unusual subregion of the Mediterranean due to its shallowness, restricted flows, and the large influence of rivers; calls for joint efforts in taking all possible measures, such as the use of clean fuels for maritime transport and logistics, in order to preserve the biodiversity of the marine environment and the transnational terrestrial habitats as well as to prevent and reduce the pollution of the sea and other ...[+++]threats to coastal and marine biodiversity; stresses the importance of protecting endangered marine and terrestrial species, such as Mediterranean monk seals, olms, lynxes, griffon vultures and others, and calls on the participating countries to implement proportionate measures to fulfil this objective;

The possible consequences of wastes on the ecosystem were said to include the accumulation of sediments on the ocean bottom, decreased oxygen levels, increased algae growth, the absorption of residues by marine life, and the mortality of bottom creatures and plants, especially in areas where there is poor tidal flushing of farm sites, shallow water, and slow currents.

2. Reiterates that man-made greenhouse gases have wide-ranging impacts on the complex dynamics of the marine environment and that marine ecosystems already under pressure from pollution, insufficiently regulated, and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing are also being affected by warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, changes in salinity and acidification, possible changes in the circulation of ocean currents as well as the spatial distribution of live aquatic organisms (fish, molluscs, crustaceans etc) and their spread ...[+++]along the water column; moreover recalls that scientific models predict further increases in atmospheric temperature and average sea level and that the most effective way to tackle climate change is a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions;
