Abstract

We review the recently adopted Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement) and the role of local knowledge in more equitable ocean governance. We explore ways of strengthening the 'ecosystem approach' via the argument from ecological connectivity for marine species that straddle coasts and high seas. We identify possible epistemic injustices in how local knowledges may enter discussions about marine policy and argue for the need to rethink discussions on the role and value of local knowledge in ocean governance.
