Background, Motivations and Aspirations of the 2018 CAOF Agreement
Author:
The 2018 Agreement to Prevent Unregulated High Seas Fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean (CAOF Agreement) is a unique international treaty. It sets up conditions for potential future (commercial) fisheries in the central Arctic Ocean, furthered by climate change, until ecosystem dynamics are well understood. As a product of balancing interests of various stakeholders after a multi-year drafting process, the agreement protects both fish stocks and the environment. Based on international maritime law, scientific research and principles of international environmental law, such as the precautionary approach, it sets a precedent for future fisheries agreements.

Ocean governance is emerging as a field of study drawing on and combining different knowledge domains, including governance, science, and law. Assumptions of these three knowledge domains and their relationships are rarely discussed. This study attempts to contribute to such discussion by theory-building: investigating the governance-science and governance-law interfaces in an ocean governance context. The investigations form the basis for offering some perspectives concerning key topics of ocean governance: cross-sectoral, holistic, and integrated approaches, science-based decision-making, adaptation, the ecosystem approach, and ocean governance as an emerging field of study.
Before the invention of synthetic sponges, divers culled the seabeds of the Aegean for animal sponges, or "sea gold", to supply global demand, while risking paralysis or death from decompression disease. This is a study of sponge diving and the impact of the industry on the inhabitants of Kalymnos and the Mediterranean. It is a record of the 10,000 divers who died, the 20,000 who were paralysed between 1886 and 1910, and the women who were there to sustain them when they returned home.

Abstract

On 2 March 2022, the United Nations Environment Assembly of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) requested the Executive Director of UNEP to convene an international negotiating committee (INC) charged with moving towards the negotiation of an international legally binding instrument on plastics by 2024. Due to the complex environmental, societal, and human health impacts of plastic pollution, the work undertaken ought to consider the best available science, traditional knowledge, and local knowledge systems in the context of scientific and socioeconomic assessments. This article explores the importance of specifically considering the challenges faced by small island developing States in the development of a Science-Policy Interface (SPI) as is envisaged by the INC. It is argued that in the creation of a global SPI on plastic pollution, a vision for the co-creation and co-design of traditional and local stakeholders’ knowledge must be integrated from the beginning.

Abstract

Nature-based solutions – approaches that take advantage of existing aspects of the natural landscape and/or imitate natural processes through engineering and design to produce environmental and societal value – will be key to actively restoring the ocean’s ability to sustain human societies. Nature-based solutions upend the dominant paradigm informing engineering decision-making, which is ultimately founded upon the idea that humans can use hard, structural approaches to control nature and that degradation of natural functions can be offset. In the United States, the current legal tools and policy regimes to protect the environment and manage land use decisions were designed for the traditional engineering era. Pointing to the US Clean Water Act as an example, the article draws lessons learned from its successes and limitations, emphasising that future policy frameworks should clearly identify that encompassing nature as a way to enhance functioning and design is a high priority.
