The aim of this report is to provide an overview, with good examples and practical guidance to enhance the role and contribution of regional seas to the SDG follow-up and review process, in line with UN General Assembly and UNEA resolutions and Global Meetings for the Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans. The focus of these guidelines will be on SDG 14 indicators but in line with the mandate of the regional seas, several other SDG indicators should be considered such as secondary priority goals and targets as presented in Annex 1.
