International Law Foundation and Feasibility Study of Establishing Marine Reserves in Disputed Sea Areas
TOTAL VIEWS: 112
Abstract
The South China Sea region is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, but due to overfishing, ship pollution and other factors, its biodiversity and environment have been greatly damaged. Marine protected areas have been widely recognized as effective tool for protecting the marine environment and conserving marine resources. However, the current lack of effective cooperation among protected areas in the South China Sea and the fact that some neighbouring countries are even zoning and managing disputed waters not only fail to effectively safeguard biodiversity, but also exacerbate regional tensions. There are already examples of successful cooperation in transboundary waters, which provide some ideas for cooperation in establishing protected areas in the South China Sea, and the successful environmental protection projects implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme in the South China Sea also set a good example for future cooperation among all parties in the South China Sea.
