The Unfree Commons: Freedom of Marine Scientific Research and the Status of Genetic Resources Beyond National Jurisdiction

The Modern Law Review, Volume 88, Issue 2, Page 300-332, March 2025.
Longstanding negotiations on the status of marine genetic resources beyond national jurisdiction under a new UN treaty oscillated between the common heritage of mankind and the freedom of the high seas. The final text of the new Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) Treaty bridges the normative dissonance by crafting a freedom of marine ...

Dynamics of Near‐Bottom Currents in Cold‐Water Coral and Sponge Areas at Valdivia Bank and Ewing Seamount, Southeast Atlantic

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract This study investigates near‐bottom currents and physical processes from simulations with the hydrodynamic model ROMS‐AGRIF at two seamounts of the northeast Walvis Ridge to obtain valuable insights about drivers of observed occurrences of benthic suspension feeders (cnidarians and sponges) in this data‐poor area.

A probabilistic time geographic approach to quantifying seabird‐vessel interactions

Animal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 816-829, December 2024.
We develop a time geographic method to measure the probability of individual seabirds interacting with individual fishing vessels, even when GPS data are low in resolution. We demonstrate the approach with a case study of an Endangered albatross in the South Pacific high seas, but the same method could be used to quantify interaction probability of ...

The integration of the ecosystem approach in the BBNJ agreement—An initial assessment of limits and opportunities

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 554-564, November 2024.
Abstract This paper carries out an initial assessment of the integration of the ecosystem approach in the recently adopted agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). The analysis seeks to assess whether or not such integration is likely to be effective.

Characterization and Mapping of a Deep-Sea Sponge Ground on the Tropic Seamount (Northeast Tropical Atlantic): Implications for Spatial Management in the High Seas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Ferromanganese crusts occurring on seamounts are a potential resource for rare earth elements that are critical for low-carbon technologies. Seamounts, however, host vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs), which means that spatial management is needed to ...

Hotspots beyond borders: quantitative assessment of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems on the Corner Rise seamounts with implications for conservation planning

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Corner Rise Seamounts (CRS), located in an area beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ), are recognized biodiversity hotspots protected from bottom-contact fishing by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO). These seamounts are registered as
