International Law Foundation and Feasibility Study of Establishing Marine Reserves in Disputed Sea Areas
争议海域建立海洋保护区的国际法基础及其可行性研究

摘要

南海地区是世界上生物多样性最丰富的地区之一，但由于过渡捕捞、船舶污染等人类因素，其物种多样性和环境都遭到了极大的破坏。海洋保护区在养护海洋资源，改善生物多样性方面被实践证明有效。然而目前南海地区国家的保护区缺乏有效合作，部分周边国家在争议海域进行划区管理，这不仅不能有效地维护生物多样性，更会加剧地区紧张局势。目前已有在跨界海域成功合作的案例，为在南海合作建立保护区提供了一些思路，联合国环境规划署在南海地区成功实施的环境保护项目也为未来南海各方合作树立了良好的典范。

Abstract

The South China Sea region is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, but due to overfishing, ship pollution and other factors, its biodiversity and environment have been greatly damaged. Marine protected areas have been widely recognized as effective tool for protecting the marine environment and conserving marine resources.However, the current lack of effective cooperation among protected areas in the South China Sea and the fact that some neighbouring countries are even zoning and managing disputed waters not only fail to effectively safeguard biodiversity, but also exacerbate regional tensions.There are already examples of successful cooperation in transboundary waters, which provide some ideas for cooperation in establishing protected areas in the South China Sea, and the successful environmental protection projects implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme in the South China Sea also set a good example for future cooperation among all parties in the South China Sea.
