在2012年6月举行的联合国可持续发展大会上，世界各国领导人承诺在国家管辖范围以外的地区（公海）保护和可持续利用海洋生物多样性。我们对公海管理差距的分析表明，为了保护公海生物多样性免受日益严重的威胁，将需要一种模式转变为一种更系统的方法。陆地和沿海地区的经验表明，采用系统的养护规划和管理方法可以帮助维持生态系统的健康和生产力，同时实现可持续利用。我们的分析进一步表明，目前公海的法律制度不足以实现这些目标：管理机构既没有进行综合规划的充分授权，也没有在多个管理制度之间进行有效协调的能力。我们确定了未来公海管理的关键因素，并认为双管齐下的办法最有希望：发展一种改进的全球法律制度，其中包括系统的规划以及扩大现有的和新的区域协定和任务。这种综合办法最有可能实现以生态系统为基础的、综合的和基于科学的管理，世界各国领导人在bbb会议上承认，这些管理应作为海洋管理的基础。
At the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio in June 2012, world leaders committed to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (the high seas). Our analysis of gaps in high seas management indicates that a paradigm shift to a more systematic approach will be needed to safeguard high seas biodiversity from mounting threats. Experience from terrestrial and coastal areas indicates that a systematic approach to conservation planning and management can help to maintain ecosystem health and productivity while enabling sustainable use. Our analysis further demonstrates that the current legal regime on the high seas is insufficient to realize these objectives: management institutions have neither an adequate mandate for integrated planning nor the ability to effectively coordinate across multiple management regimes. We identify key elements for future high seas management and posit that a two-pronged approach is most promising: the development of an improved global legal regime that incorporates systematic planning as well as the expansion of existing and new regional agreements and mandates. This combined approach is most likely to achieve the required ecosystem-based, integrated and science-based management that world leaders at Rio acknowledged should underpin ocean management.
