The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has published a brief pointing out that nearly two-thirds of the world’s ocean lies in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ), which are home to unique species and ecosystems. Negotiations are underway to create a new international instrument under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which would help close the existing ABNJ governance gap.
