Take Action for Climate-Ready Fisheries. The ocean has buffered our planet from the impacts of climate change, absorbing much of the carbon dioxide we’ve emitted and a substantial amount of the heat from our warming atmosphere. In short, the ocean is becoming less familiar and its patterns less recognizable.

Despite the ongoing debate on whether ITLOS has jurisdiction to issue an advisory opinion on climate change, if the Tribunal asserts jurisdiction (on jurisdiction, see here and here) , there is still much to uncover. Assuming the ITLOS will assert jurisdiction, this post’s objective is twofold. The question is divided into two parts.
