The Oslo-based Fridtjof Nansen Institute recently organised the “The World Ocean in Globalization: Challenges for Marine Regions” conference.
This was the third such international conference organized by the Nansen Institute covering marine affairs and the Law of the Sea and looked at a variety of emergent issues facing ocean governance, including: invasive alien species, bioprospecting, pollution, seabed resources, sustainability of fishing, illegal fishing and the impact of climate change on the oceans.
A pre-prepared compendium containing the summaries of most of the presentations given is now available. (PDF, 2.7 Mb, 204 pages)
