<strong>IUCN</strong> Global Marine Programme<br />
Founded in 1958, <strong>IUCN</strong> (the International Union for the Conservation of Nature) brings together<br />
states, government agencies and a diverse range of non-governmental organizations in a unique<br />
world partnership: over 100 members in all, spread across some 140 countries. As a Union, <strong>IUCN</strong><br />
seeks to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and<br />
diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically<br />
sustainable.<br />
The <strong>IUCN</strong> Global Marine Programme provides vital linkages for the Union and its members to all the<br />
<strong>IUCN</strong> activities that deal with marine issues, including projects and initiatives of the Regional offices<br />
and the six <strong>IUCN</strong> Commissions. The <strong>IUCN</strong> Global Marine Programme works on issues such as<br />
integrate coastal and marine management, fisheries, marine protected areas, large marine<br />
ecosystems, coral reefs, marine invasives and protection of high and deep seas.<br />
