*Not an Intractable Challenge: Geoengineering MSR in ABNJ*

Karen N. Scott

*Abstract *
This chapter examines the rules relating to marine scientific research as
they apply to marine geoengineering taking place in abnj. It will analyse
the regime currently evolving under the 1996 London Protocol to the 1972
London (Dumping) Convention, which has been developed to manage ocean
fertilization scientific research in the context of the regulation of
marine scientific research under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the
Law of the Sea (unclos). As the Southern Ocean has been the location for
several ocean fertilization experiments to date, the relevant rules under
the 1991 Environmental Protocol to the 1959 Antarctic Treaty, particularly
environmental impact assessments, will also be assessed. This chapter
briefly assesses the relationship between these regimes and the future
Agreement under unclos on the conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity and concludes that this Agreement—whatever the outcome of the
negotiations—will not operate as a panacea for managing activities in abnj.
With respect to geoengineering msr, the potential ‘solution’ to managing
its risks lies in supporting and implementing the existing regime.
