Abstract: The ocean remains the least observed part of our planet. This deficiency was made obvious by two recent developments in ocean governance: the emerging global movement to create massive marine protected areas (MPAs) ( 1 ) and a new commitment by the United Nations (UN) to develop a legally binding treaty to better manage high-seas biodiversity ( 2 ). Both policy goals cause us to confront whether it is meaningful to legislate change in ocean areas that we have little capacity to observe transparently. Correspondingly, there has been a surge in interest in the potential of publicly accessible data from automatic ship identification systems (AIS) to fill gaps in ocean observation. We demonstrate how AIS data can be used to empower and propel forward a new era of spatially ambitious marine governance and research. The value of AIS, however, is inextricably linked to the strength of policies by which it is backed.

Xueyang Wang,Xin Song,Yong Zhao +2 more
- 11 Apr 2024
TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in maritime target positioning accuracy compared to raw data, with over a 70% reduction in root mean square error and positioning errors controlled within 4 pixels, providing relatively accurate target positions that essentially meet practical requirements.

The Problem of Ensuring Maritime Security in the Asian Region
TL;DR: In this article , an analysis of international legal acts, law enforcement practice was carried out, and expert assessments were monitored on various issues of ensuring the safety of navigation in the Asian region, where the main threats to the implementation of these activities are piracy, offenses on board a ship in isolation from the mainland, and illegal extraction of biological resources.

Marine defaunation: Animal loss in the global ocean
Douglas J. McCauley,Malin L. Pinsky,Stephen R. Palumbi,James A. Estes,Francis H. Joyce,Robert R. Warner +5 more
TL;DR: Today’s low rates of marine extinction may be the prelude to a major extinction pulse, similar to that observed on land during the industrial revolution, as the footprint of human ocean use widens.

TL;DR: These species exhibit a wide range of life-history characteristics, but many have relatively low productivity and consequently relatively high intrinsic vulnerability to over-exploitation, including the shortfin mako shark.

TL;DR: Ocean Zoning as discussed by the authors replaces mismatched and fragmented approaches with integrated regulatory domains, which can replace mismatched approaches with a unified regulatory domain for ocean resource management. But it is not science-based.
