Why should capacity building also focus on marine conservation beyond national jurisdiction?
Because marine areas beyond national jurisdiction are a shared natural resource and heritage for humanity, it is necessary that nations work together to collectively care fore and sustainably manage these areas. This requires all types of capacity including human resources, technological equipment, ship time, oceanographic expertise, and so forth. Some nations have advantages in certain aspects of this while others are more adept at other capacities. Thus, there is a need to build these capacities across regions and hemispheres.
