Evidence

Peer-reviewed

Geography

High seas and international treaty system

System

Marine genetic resources; digital sequence information; governance

## WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS

A legal analysis interprets the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Agreement's nonmonetary benefit-sharing rules for digital sequence information derived from marine genetic resources. It identifies unresolved questions concerning the enforceability of forms of sharing, technology transfer, databases and long-term capacity building.

## WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ

Public access to sequence data is only part of fair participation; the scientific and institutional ability to use data matters too.

## CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY

This is doctrinal treaty analysis, not empirical monitoring of treaty implementation, species outcomes or a demonstrated failure by particular governments.
