ADVERTISEMENT Delegates at the World Ocean Conference in Indonesia are urging joint action to handle rising sea levels and damage to the oceans caused by climate change, and for the issue to be included in talks in Copenhagen in December. "We hope that in this declaration we can bring our agenda, to bring the ocean agenda, proportionately into discussions on climate change," Indonesian delegation head Arif Havaz Oegroseno said. "We hope for oceans to be in a new post-2012 climate change agreement." Indonesian officials said the non-binding declaration would include a call for funds for coastal countries to adapt to the effects of climate change, and provisions for the transfer of green technologies. Indonesian government conference chair Eddy Pratomo said the declaration was the first step on a long and possibly painful road of negotiations over how to protect maritime resources and ecosystems. "We have to date first before we get married. If we get married and move in together straight away, we'll end up fighting," he said. Pratomo said there had been no resistance from rich countries on the inclusion in the agreement of adaptation funds, often a sticking point in climate talks between developed and developing countries. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told delegates in a recorded statement that nations needed to work harder to conserve oceans and fight climate change. "Changes to our oceans threaten their ability to provide for their families and make a better life for their children," Clinton said. "Meanwhile rising sea levels threaten the very existence of some communities and powerful storms have dealt devastating blows to developing economies." Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono told the meeting that the destruction of the oceans was a "life and death issue." "We must come to the rescue of the oceans. We must save them from the ravages of abuse and over-exploitation by humankind, from the havoc due to pollution and dire effects of climate change," he said in a speech.
