Ramsar Convention (ラムサール条約): the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat taking a broad approach in determining the wetlands which come under its aegis. Under the text of Art 1.1, wetlands are defined as: areas of marsh, fen, peatland or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six metres. in addition, for the purpose of protecting coherent sites, Art 2.1 provides that wetlands to be included in the Ramsar List of internationally important wetlands:may incorporate riparian and coastal zones adjacent to the wetlands, and islands or bodies of marine water deeper than six metres at low tide lying within the wetlands. |
