  Thanks  By integratingtargets into EU policies via the Ocean Pact, focus will not only be on reducing threats but also on meeting people’s needs.  Conservation goes hand in hand with sustainable use of natural resources, & provision of maritime services.  For long term success of policies, you need meaningful engagement with communities & users of the oceans.  Message to send to UNOC 3 is of innovation, good governance, security with unity, not polarisation.
