objective - to solve through international cooperation the problems involved in the conservation of living resources of the high seas, considering that because of the development of modern technology some of these resources are in danger of being overexploited
MarineLifeConservation Districts are established by the state's Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), as authorized by Chapter 190 of the Hawai‘i Revised Statutes.
These include public accessibility, marinelife and future potential values, safety from a public usage standpoint, compatibility with adjoining area usage, and minimal environmental or ecological changes from the undisturbed natural state.
Since the purpose of MLCDs is to protect marinelife to the greatest extent possible, the taking of any type of living material (fishes, eggs, shells, corals, algae, etc.) and non-living habitat material (sand, rocks, coral skeletons, etc.) is generally restricted, if it is permitted at all.
Marine Dumping (also known as the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping Wastes and Other Matter) has been defined as the deliberate disposal at sea of wastes or other matter from vessels, aircraft, platforms or other man-made structures, as well as the deliberate disposal of these vessels or platforms themselves.
MarineLifeConservation (also known as the Convention on Fishing and Conservation of Living Resources of the High Seas) is the development of modern techniques for the exploitation of living resources of the sea.
Considering the nature of the problems involved in the conservation of the living resources of the high seas, there is a clear necessity that need to be solved, whenever possible, on the basis of international co-operation.
