[Nhcoll-l] Ongoing discussion to cover Open Seas (Areas beyond national jurisdiction, ABNJ) under NAGOYA

[Dirk Neumann]

Dear SPHNC members and followers of the NHColl mailing list,

on behalf of the legislation & Regulations committee of SPHNC, I would 
be interested to know if anyone following the posts on this mailing list 
is engaged in ABNJ (or knows colleagues and his/her institution which 
follow or are engaged).

Last week, the second session of the intergovernmental conference took 
place from 25 March to 5 April 2019 in New York. (Results of this 
meeting are available here: https://www.un.org/bbnj/).  If Areas Beyond 
National Jurisdiction (ABNJ) and marine organisms occurring outside the 
territorial sea would fall under the Nagoya Protocol, this would have 
tremendous implications for those working on marine projects. The L&R 
committee would appreciate information of or contact to SPNHC members 
who are engaged in ABNJ and/or UNCLOS matters, or information from 
marine researchers on relevant discussions or planned submissions on 
this subject.

With kind regards

Dirk Neumann & Stephanie Carson
