¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?: 
National capacity for monitoring of waterbirds varies considerably and needs to be strengthened, requiring long term and dependable resources. Additionally resources are required to support coordination at all levels - local, national and international. Additionally, plans are being developed for establishment of a global waterbird monitoring fund to support enhancing local monitoring networks.

Capacitaci�nOptions to enhance implementation of the resolution through greater interaction with the Secretariat and Council will be explored.
Convocar a partes interesadas/creaci�n de redesAdditional resources are urgently required from IUCN members and others to strengthen national and regional coordination, fill geographic gaps to extend monitoring of critically important wetlands, improve quality and consistency of monitoring and strengthen reporting by the networks.
Actividades de campoRegarding monitoring - Plans are progressing to promote a focussed effort on monitoring of coastal wetlands in Jan/Feb 2017 as part of the annual IWC. Linked to this is a plan for a more focussed Indian Ocean Coastal Count that aims to provide new information on coastal wetlands and waterbirds populations and conservation challenges.
Recaudaci�n de fondosPlanning for the “Waterbird Population Estimates 6th edition” is underway and additional resources are required to undertake this work. The urgency of resourcing this has been raised at the 52nd Ramsar Standing Committee Meeting by the Acting Secretary General in 2016, a call that is supported by governments.
Actividades t�cnicas/cient�ficasAs per above - continuation of the same - e.g. monitoring.
