The once pristine and rich marine environment of the South China Sea is degrading at an alarming rate due to the rapid socioeconomic development of the region. Despite this, and due mainly to complicated sovereignty and maritime disputes, coastal States have not been able to develop effective regional cooperation to safeguard the shared marine environment. Marine Protected Areas Network in the South China Sea discusses legal and political measures to support the development of a network of marine protected areas in the South China Sea. Such a network, if properly developed, would not only help to protect the marine environment and resources of the region but also contribute to decreasing the tension among its coastal States. These measures are suggested in accordance with international law, based on the specific geopolitical context of the South China Sea region and take into consideration experiences in developing regional networks of marine protected areas from other marine regions.

South China Sea (SCS) issues are complex and dynamic, ranging from historic claims to present day military occupation, from military security to regional stability, from rhetorical appeasements to national interests, from intraregional competition to extraregional involvement. The submissions made in 2009 by several Southeast Asian states to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) respecting outer limits of extended continental shelves beyond 200 nautical miles in the South China Sea resulted in renewed attention to the maritime disputes over the insular features and the waters of the South China Sea among several claimant States. Questions have resurfaced about the future of cooperation in the region. Furthermore, the improvement of cross-Strait relations between Taiwan and China after 2008 has added a new element to the evolution of South China Sea issues. This book describes these recent developments in depth and provides an examination of possible future developments in the South China Sea. The articles in this book were originally published as special sections in Ocean Development & International Law.

With its reputation of its diverse fisheries, latent oil reserves, and its strategic economic position in global trade, the South China Sea has historically been a site of contention between states. Today, we find this contention in the intersection of multiple claims between regional powers: China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan. The lack of consensus regarding how to delineate territory has led states to view the region as a 'petri dish' - experimenting with de-facto delineations of territory. Each state attempts to build a case to justify their claim to the sea by using an arsenal of spatial tools that brings agency to the built form. We see civilian occupied islands like Pag-asa Island, which is owned by the Philippines, and the militarized artificial islands like Fiery Cross Reef, constructed by China. Naval flotillas and FONOPs (Freedom of Navigation Operations) begin to act as quasi-informal boundaries of sovereignty, as they inform the spatial mobility in the sea. As a result of the territorial and maritime dispute in the South China Sea, an evident gap has formed in the management of resources, leading to the neglect of the region's ecosystem and maritime security. The lack of coordination among countries has led to unregulated fishing, thereby contributing to overfishing in the region - to the point where its fisheries are on the brink of collapse. Along with the depleting fish stocks, the activity of illegal poachers has deteriorated the health of the coral reefs. These habitats serve as critical spawning grounds for marine species in the South China Sea. State-run infrastructural projects veiled under "national security" have compromised the well-being of the region's ecosystem. This includes the construction of artificial islands, which involves extensive land reclamation techniques that have contributed to the declining health of coral reefs. Supplements for Diplomacy reframes the agency of the built-form in the South China Sea. It advocates for a shift, from state-centric to non-state-centric processes - specifically resources that support marine species. This thesis revisits a proposal brought forth by marine biologist John McManus, who advocated for transforming the region into an international marine protected area. This proposal calls to organize state and non-state actors in a collective body that acknowledges the region's economic dependency on its ecosystem and biodiversity. By using this proposal as a framework to bridge environmental objectives with state incentives, this thesis illustrates the implementation of the marine protected area's planning, governance, and infrastructure. Supplements for Diplomacy presents a scalable model that can transition existing occupied islands into environments that serve as spawning grounds for endangered marine species. It relies on the incremental phasing of infrastructure that aims to monitor, build ecological resilience, and to establish a sustainable economy through tourism and revenue from long-term conservation of fish stocks. Through the reprogramming of state-occupied islands, this thesis poses a new relationship we have with the disputed region - one where we take on the role of the steward. Territory is no longer seen as strategic token exploited by the state, rather it consists of large moving systems involving nutrient flows.

From 6-25 April 1998, the Tenth International Workshop on the Marine Flora and Fauna of Hong Kong and South China was convened at the Swire Institute of Marine Science of the University of Hong Kong. Thirteen scientists from six countries and twenty-two scientists and students from Hong Kong investigated aspects of the marine flora and fauna of the Cape d'Aguilar Marine Reserve and the southeastern waters of Hong Kong. This was to obtain more information about the newly-established reserve (the only one in Hong Kong) and the changes that had taken place on the seabed in the southern waters since they were dredged between 1992-1995, respectively, and, in the latter case, to see if there had been any subsequent benthic recovery. The Proceedings of the workshop contains thirty-six original research papers dealing with aspects of the taxonomy and anatomy, behaviour and physiology of marine life in Hong Kong and Southern China. Papers also explore aspects of Hong Kong's marine parks and reserves, including the pollution of Hong Kong's marine life with particular reference to the Cape d'Aguilar Marine Reserve, established only in 1996, and the fauna of its territorial southern waters. The Workshop was sponsored by the University of Hong Kong, the Croucher Foundation and the K.C. Wong Foundation so as to bring eminent overseas scientists to Hong Kong to work with their local colleagues and students. The success of the workshop concept is self-evident in the contents and scope of these proceedings. This was the eighth workshop convened in Hong Kong since 1977 and these proceedings have become the single-most important body of information on the long-term changes that have taken place in its marine environment over an extended time-frame. The volumes are also the largest regional repository of information on the marine life of the territorial waters of Hong Kong and the northern rim of the South China Sea. For those with any interest in Hong Kong's marine environment, therefore, this proceedings and its predecessors are essential reading.

The impact of continuous coastal development, reclamation, destruction of corals, overfishing and increased maritime traffic places all of us on the front lines of preserving our oceans. Marine biologists, who share a common language that cuts across political, economic and social differences, recognize that the sea’s remarkable coral reefs, which provide food, jobs and protection against storms and floods, have suffered unprecedented rates of destruction in recent decades. Dispatches from the South China Sea’s blend of participatory research and field reportage paves the way for a transformation of policy and, provides a basis for the eventual resolution of some of today’s major maritime conflicts. From overfishing, illegal and unregulated fishing, coral reef destruction and reclamations, Dispatches from the South China Sea charts science-driven cooperation opportunities. James Borton purposefully and passionately argues that the South China Sea can become a body of water that unites, rather than divides.
