The Scientific Council, through its Flyways Working Group, is requested, subject to the availability of resources, to: a) facilitate a discussion among Parties, non-Party Range States, relevant regional instruments and stakeholders to explore options for a preferred collaborative framework for the marine flyways under CMS, as outlined in the high-level recommendations (UNEP/CMS/COP15/Doc.26.3.2/Annex 2 - Policy Gap Analysis on Marine Flyways); b) review relevant scientific and technical issues, international initiatives and processes linked to migratory seabirds, their habitats within marine flyways, the threats associated with them and evidence for effective solutions, and make recommendations on priority actions and gaps in information to be addressed; c) develop situation analyses for individual marine flyways in order to advance targeted conservation action with the relevant stakeholder groups; d) identify critical networks of sites within the six flyways that represent key areas associated with important life-history stages of migratory seabirds, including breeding, foraging, stop-over and wintering, noting that the sites may encompass both national and international waters, for consideration for protection, management and restoration by the 10th meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council and subsequently the 16th Conference of the Parties; e) facilitate the development of an implementation plan for each marine flyway that identifies roles and responsibilities and priorities for implementation.
