The full methodology and a full list of experts involved are in the Global Manual on SDG 14.1.1, 14.2.1 and 14.5.1. Methods were developed through pilot testing in Colombia and Fiji and online consultation and an international expert group meeting in Paris. Additional pilot testing is referenced in a report covering how Regional Seas data could be directly used for the SDGs.

Aichi Target 11: By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes.
Marine area management
Marine area management
This indicator aims to look beyond just simple marine planning, but to understand the full picture from ridge to reef. This is consistent with the approach outlined in UNEP's Marine and Coastal Strategy.
The proposed indicator is the
Number of countries using ecosystem-based approaches to manage marine areas (measured through ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management), marine spatial plan or other area-based, integrated planning and management in place)
The need for ocean accounting is specifically referenced in this document.
For countries with Marine/Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in place, these plans can be helpful to assess ICZM. For other countries, it is important to identify ways to measure existing plans and to build capacity for integrated planning. All data for this indicator will be based on country submissions to the Regional Seas Programme or direct submissions from countries for those that are not a Regional Seas member. UNEP is developing a data reporting system which is will build on the Indicator Reporting Information System (IRIS) which is part of the World Environment Situation Room to collect information from the Regional Seas on this indicator.
