The second paper in this marine series builds on the complementary study described in Marine Series No. 1 that identified several significant regulatory and governance gaps in the international regime for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ). It highlights a variety of short- and medium-term options for addressing the identified gaps and recommends a practical approach of adopting a package of measures to address priority issues while building political support for more comprehensive action.
