CORPORATE CONTROL AND GLOBAL GOVERNANCE OF MARINE GENETIC RESOURCES
INTRODUCTION
The prospect of the ocean generating a new era of “blue growth” is increasingly finding its way into national and international policy documents around the world and has spurred a rush to claim ocean space and resources. If economic activities in coastal and offshore areas are to expand in an equitable and sustainable manner, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), progress is needed toward addressing multiple and potentially conflicting uses of ocean space within national jurisdictions, in addition to developing a consistent and transparent legal framework for the vast areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ). These areas cover 64% of the world’s ocean and 47% of the Earth’s surface yet remain poorly understood or described. Marine organisms have evolved to thrive in the extremes of pressure, temperature, chemistry, and darkness found in the ocean, resulting in unique adaptations that make them the object of commercial interest, particularly for biomedical and industrial applications. By 2025, the global market for marine biotechnology is projected to reach $6.4 billion, spanning a broad range of commercial purposes for the pharmaceutical, biofuel, and chemical industries. One way to ensure exclusive access to these potential economic benefits is through patents associated with “marine genetic resources” (MGRs). Although the term MGRs has never been formally described, it suggests a subset of “genetic resources”, which have been defined under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as “genetic material of actual or potential value”.____________________. The adoption of the Nagoya Protocol in 2010 represented an important step within the international policy arena to define obligations associated with monetary and nonmonetary benefit sharing of genetic resources and their products sourced from within national jurisdictions. No such mechanism currently exists for ABNJ.

Choose the correct option.
A
Ocean space and resources have had their ownership completely established.'
B
There is no legal doctrine regarding the uses of ocean space beyond national jurisdiction.
C
Although “blue growth” is not economically attractive, some organizations need to own ocean space.
D
A good deal of knowledge has already been gathered about ocean space beyond national jurisdiction.
E
Corporate institutions have studied more than half of our planet's surface.
Gabarito:
There is no legal doctrine regarding the uses of ocean space beyond national jurisdiction.
Resolução:
A alternativa correta é a B) "Não há doutrina legal sobre os usos do espaço oceânico além da jurisdição nacional") está de acordo com o trecho do primeiro parágrafo "[...]progress is needed toward addressing multiple and potentially conflicting uses of ocean space within national jurisdictions, in addition to developing a consistent and transparent legal framework for the vast areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ)" ("É necessário progresso para abordar usos múltiplos e potencialmente conflitantes do espaço oceânico dentro das jurisdições nacionais, além de desenvolver uma estrutura legal consistente e transparente para as vastas áreas além da jurisdição nacional (ABNJ).")
As outras alternativas estão incorretas.
A) O espaço e os recursos do oceano tiveram sua propriedade completamente estabelecida.
C) Embora o “crescimento azul” não seja economicamente atraente, algumas organizações precisam possuir espaço oceânico.
D) Uma boa quantidade de conhecimento já foi reunida sobre o espaço oceânico além da jurisdição nacional.
E) As instituições corporativas estudaram mais da metade da superfície do nosso planeta.
