“…The potential economic value of MGRs is still unclear (Harden- Davies, 2017b;Tiller et al, 2019Tiller et al, , 2020Yu, 2019); nonetheless, the literature detects an increasing interest in their exploration and exploitation among various stakeholders (McLaughlin, 2010;Nurbintoro and Nugroho, 2016;Van Dover et al, 2016;Becker-Weinberg, 2017). Considering the freedom of the High Seas under UNCLOS and the almost limitless opportunity to collect biological material from ABNJ, BBNJ authors emphasize the fact that this status quo increases inequality between developed and developing countries: they mention the advantage enjoyed by developed nations when it comes to scientific research and profit from the development of products derived from ABNJ marine genetic material (Merrie et al, 2014;Nurbintoro and Nugroho, 2016;Scovazzi, 2016;Broggiato et al, 2018;George and George, 2018).…”

“…Currently, however, there is no official global body in charge of the identification and management of area-based management tools on the High Seas (Van Dover et al, 2016;Becker-Weinberg, 2017;De Santo, 2018;Elferink, 2019). As a result, such conservation and sustainable use measures are currently implemented within a fragmented framework by regional and sectoral organizations with different management competences (See Figure 1) (Drankier, 2012;Durussel et al, 2017).…”

“…The Aichi targets under the CBD aim to put 10% of the ocean under protection and under the CBD, Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs) were identified and their descriptions adopted by the Conferences of the Parties (Dunn et al, 2014;Dunstan et al, 2016;Gjerde et al, 2016;Van Dover et al, 2016;Warner, 2016Warner, , 2017Warner, , 2018Durussel et al, 2017;Friedman, 2017;Laffoley and Freestone, 2017;Ribeiro, 2017;Shirayama et al, 2017;De Santo, 2018;Johnson et al, 2018). The CBD, in this way, actively promotes marine protected areas in ABNJ, however does not have the mandate for their designation and management (Ardron et al, 2014).…”

“…Moreover, marine genetic compounds have been used to develop products for the pharmaceutical, biofuel, and chemical industries (Blasiak et al, 2018). It is widely argued that scientific and other forms of knowledge ought to contribute to decision-making and the implementation of policies (Van Dover et al, 2016;Gjerde et al, 2019;Gownaris et al, 2019) and that scientific cooperation is needed (Harden- Rabone et al, 2019).…”

Over one hundred governments are currently negotiating a new legally binding instrument for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). The new agreement is to address four broad themes: marine genetic resources (MGRs); area-based management tools (ABMTs), including marine protected areas (MPAs); environmental impact assessments (EIAs); and capacity building and the transfer of marine technology (CB&TT). Although a large corpus of scientific BBNJ literature exists, a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of the academic debate is currently missing. This systematic review seeks to fill this gap by examining the main priority topics and recommendations in a sample of 140 multidisciplinary, geographically diverse publications. As an up-to-date summary and analysis, it is intended for researchers from diverse academic disciplines in the natural and social sciences, policy-makers, and practitioners. It untangles the complex BBNJ negotiations, highlights the policy relevance of existing work, and facilitates links between science, policy, and practice. It presents recommendations made in the literature sample for each of the four package elements of the future treaty and identifies four overarching themes: ocean connectivity, institutional design, the role of science, and digital technology. This paper identifies two important gaps that need to be addressed if we are to conserve marine biodiversity in international waters: the science-policy interfaces and the need for transformative change.

“…Adaptive management is a process with a “learning by doing” approach (Holling ; Walters ; Walters and Holling ) and has been comprehensively discussed elsewhere (Allan and Stankey ; Williams et al ; Doremus et al ). Williams and Brown (, ) provided examples as to how adaptive management can be used in practice, and Dover et al () described adaptive management as an iterative cycle of predictive modeling, monitoring, assessment, and feedback, that is, as a tool managers may use to continually integrate new knowledge into existing plans to improve management, which would typically comprise a “plan–act–monitor–evaluate–mitigate” cycle. Craig et al () discuss how federal agencies use adaptive management and the contexts in which adaptive management will be applicable and useful.…”

Environmental Adaptive Management: Application on Submarine Mine Tailings Disposal

Marine tailings disposal from mineral production is expected to have an environmental impact. In this case study we use a discharge of limestone processing tailings to a Norwegian fjord to describe an adaptive management process. The aim of the paper is to describe the development of an environmental adaptive management system (EAMS), contrasted with management simply based on the quantity of the discharge. The main driver for developing a new management system for the submarine tailings deposits was a desire to establish a system based on what was perceived as important to all stakeholders, that is, environmental impact. Involvement of stakeholders is essential, and a resource group with members from fisheries, local interest organizations, scientists, independent experts, and managers from the mining company jointly defined common sets of acceptance criteria to evaluate impact. Introduction of an EAMS has resulted in a change in the company's view of the impact their activity has on the environment and in an increased willingness to initiate monitoring and research to reduce knowledge gaps and uncertainty and impact on the marine environment. Environmental adaptive management has facilitated the development of a more ecologically relevant, integrated, and focused submarine tailings deposits management.
