China’s role in global marine conservation: opportunities and challenges in implementing ABMTs in ABNJ under the BBNJ Agreement

Frontiers in Marine Science
Area-based management tools (ABMTs) are crucial for conserving marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ). The BBNJ Agreement establishes a global framework for the protection of critical ocean areas through implementing ABMTs ...
