Abstract

This report explores the challenges of addressing emerging activities in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) through a case study - a hypothetical proposal to develop commercial fisheries in the mesopelagic zone. The case study considers how such a proposal might be addressed by existing global and regional bodies and processes and the potential future role of the BBNJ Agreement.
