The UNEP Regional Seas Programme is a global initiative implemented through regional frameworks for cooperation, management, and protection of shared marine and coastal environments.
The programme covers 18 regions, most of which have adopted a regional action plan supported by a legal framework in the form of a regional convention and associated protocols on specific issues, known as Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans (RSCAP).
The Regional Seas Programme is participating in the 2025 UN Ocean Conference 3 (UNOC3) with many scheduled events.
