Continental Shelf Science Charts a Collaborative Course for the Blue Economy
Cooperation on the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles can turn scientific investment into a practical engine for the blue economy. A new analysis of the East and South China Seas examines how joint survey agreements, benefit-sharing at the survey stage, and long-term data management can give disputing states an operational starting point. The return is twofold: better-informed investment and the capacity to monitor ecosystems under development.

Ocean governance meets polar stewardship in the krill management frontier
Antarctic krill sits at the intersection of two evolving legal regimes, and the tension between them demands attention. CCAMLR has managed this keystone species as a fishery commodity since 1982, but the new BBNJ Agreement classifies krill differently, as a marine genetic resource with distinct benefit-sharing obligations. This study's conclusion is practical: a non-monetary approach that leverages CCAMLR's existing observation programs offers the clearest path forward.
Financing Ocean Governance: A Pathway for China’s Marine Environment
Marine environmental governance projects carry long horizons, modest returns, and real difficulty in verifying ecological performance. That is why conventional financing often falls short. This study builds a mechanism-oriented framework to show how blue finance, through resource allocation, risk management, and value discovery, can close that gap. The catch: financing volumes alone prove nothing. Outcomes hinge on taxonomies, data infrastructure, and benefit-sharing. China is moving from product experiments toward national standards.
