Interoperable data frameworks unlock the BBNJ Agreement for fisheries governance
The BBNJ Agreement's entry into force presents a practical problem: biodiversity information, fisheries authorizations, and port measures were never designed as one compliance system. This Policy and Practice Review compares four governance architectures, from autonomous implementation to federated interoperability with phased testing. It avoids predicting optimal design, instead identifying workable options under legal constraints. A three-stage pathway emerges, pre-COP mapping, first-COP institutionalization, and post-COP pilots.
Somalia’s Fisheries: Governance Gaps Fuel IUU Fishing and Resource Depletion
Somalia's fisheries governance has unraveled since 1991, leaving its Exclusive Economic Zone exposed to foreign fleets operating without accountability. This systematic review confronts a hard truth: institutional fragmentation between Mogadishu and federal member states, weak surveillance, and corruption have rendered UNCLOS, the PSMA, and IOTC measures insufficient on their own. The paper argues convincingly that centralized enforcement and decentralized governance are mismatched tools. A hybrid model, blending state capacity with community co-management and technological monitoring, offers a more credible path forward.
