“…While the politics of the RMU case are specific to the particularities of sea turtle ecologies and the existing structure of sea turtle governance, similar debates and efforts are being replicated throughout the oceans as spatial science is used to find “natural” scales of governance and put them in conversation with existing governance bodies organised jurisdictionally or territorially. EBSAs, oceanic World Heritage sites (Lehman, ), Important Bird Areas (IBAs) and Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs) are just a few examples of such unfolding processes. Science and scientists are squarely positioned in the middle of the relationship between legibility and governance.…”

Marine turtles have complex life histories and make expansive migrations over their long lifetimes, often through multiple states’ exclusive economic zones and areas beyond national jurisdiction. This complexity makes it difficult to “know” marine turtles and presents jurisdictional mismatches for existing state and inter‐state bodies that govern turtles. This paper examines how scientists tasked with assessing marine turtles for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species have used their scientific expertise to make marine turtles legible for governance, including by rescaling the Red List assessment process to include both global and regional levels. We find that in this rescaling project, marine turtle scientists have created two new objects of governance: spatially bounded “regional management units” and the scientists themselves, who have begun to sort themselves and their work around the new spatial units in the interest of generating progress in ocean conservation. More broadly, the story of the IUCN Red List process for sea turtles turns attention to the work of science and scientists in making oceans resources legible, and therefore governable, even when they defy the boundaries of state‐led regulatory bodies or jurisdictional spaces.

“…More particularly, when entering the blue dimension, it encapsulates the fact that marine and maritime-scapes and systems include any kind of hermeneutic human relationship to the sea and the communities living along the coastlines. Therefore, it enriches the appreciation of marine heritage [16,82,83].…”

“…Heritage, unlike history, is dynamic, open, and changing, and its significance belongs to the public realm [16]. According to the International Charter of Venice (1964), "heritage" is multiple, tangible and intangible, things and their imbued message, that, in the present, remain as living witnesses of the "old" and are safeguarded for and handed on to future generations.…”

“…Consequently, MWH of OUV, together with the marine natural values of sites, are made salient globally. This, in turn, means that they are brought under international oversight, and their protection should be shared and be a shared responsibility of us all [16,30]. Some of the globally significant marine sites and iconic ocean places on Earth are the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador, the Banc d'Arguin National Park in Mauritania, the Socotra Archipelago in Yemen, and the Ogasawara Islands in Japan.…”

Sustainable Biocultural Heritage Management and Communication: The Case of Digital Narrative for UNESCO Marine World Heritage of Outstanding Universal Value

The paper addresses sustainability, heritage, management, and communication from UNESCO’s Marine World Heritage (MWH) perspective, analyzing its digital narrative footprint through social media. It aims to understand how MWH is conceptualized, managed, and communicated and whether it is framed with sustainability and biocultural values facilitating interactivity, engagement, and multimodal knowledge. Hence, a content analysis of the Instagram accounts of the MWH of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) sites and protected areas has been conducted. The study included evidence from their Instagram profile, posts, features, and reactions. The findings indicated the dearth of a management and communication strategy being shared among and across UNESCO’s MWH of OUV sites and protected areas, capturing the “lifeworld” and the “voice” of the marine heritage as unified. They also revealed that nature and human, and biological and socio-ecological ecosystems of MWH of OUV sites and protected areas are not interlinked in marine heritage management and communication featuring the whole and the entirety of the marine heritage site ecosystem. The lack of this expansion of meaning and engagement does not facilitate the shift of the route in the marine-scape, from discovery and being listed as World Heritage to human-nature interaction, diversity, dynamicity, and ocean literacy. The study contributes to setting the ground rules for strengthening marine heritage management and communication in light of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Ocean Literacy Decade (2021–2030).

“…Yet, as he continues, the ocean also "kept turning blank pages, looking for history", indicating the reproduction of the ocean and the memories that it 'holds' as simultaneously a site of ongoing capital accumulation (Baucom 2005). What new forms of bio-political, spiritual or material actor might shape the blue economy narrative in the present and future, and what role does the heritage of the term play in its formation (Lehman 2018)? The following Section briefly outlines the historical-legal securing of oceanic space and how these framings relate to Africa.…”

The Blue Economy concept is being embraced enthusiastically in Africa, both internally and externally. However, this new framing creates and calls for new understandings of how actors and places relate to one another, control, and create meaning and value. Thus, understanding the ocean - and its conceptual and material fabric - in this context, is a matter of political ecology, raising a number of questions that extend across geographies, spatio-temporalities, and political actors, both human and more-than-human. In this article, we flesh out these questions. An understanding of historical efforts to legally secure oceanic space can help contextualize the emergent African blue economy, one which we propose rests predominantly on the notion of 'security.' We demonstrate how resources are economically, environmentally, and politically 'secured' as they are first constructed as economic objects of accumulation, then militarized as matters of geopolitical security, and finally controlled through technologies of monitoring, surveillance, and resistance. The 'security' of the blue growth agenda and its effects operates across different temporal and spatial dimensions and are realized in different ways across the continent as explored in the six articles in this Special Section.Keywords: blue economy, deep sea mining, political ecology, oceanic space, security
