As some of you may know, I am PI of an ERC Starting Grant project on the BBNJ negotiation process (www.maripoldata.eu<http://www.maripoldata.eu>). One important pillar of the project is to study negotiations these marine biodiversity ethnographically. In order to be able to continue our research in the current situation and to contribute to keep the BBNJ momentum we developed an online survey: https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/, which we are currently circulating to people interested/involved in BBNJ. I would very much appreciate, if you could forward the invitation to your networks and fill out the survey in case you do follow/are involved in BBNJ. It only takes 6-7- minutes. Please also note that we have received a specific approval by the ethics committee of the ERC and also informed the UNCOALOS secretariat about this research activity. I thank you very much in advance and I hope that you are all well. Kind regards and greetings from Vienna Alice (Vadrot) ____ Dear participant, We would like to invite you to participate in the research survey 'The BBNJ during the COVID-19 crisis<https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/>', recently launched by MARIPOLDATA —The Politics of Marine Biodiversity Data, an ERC Starting Grant project. MARIPOLDATA is located at the University of Vienna, Austria, under the direction of Alice Vadrot (Department of Political Science). The rapid spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to quarantine measures all around the world and resulted in the cancellation or postponement of a great number of global meetings. The fourth conference on an international legally binding instrument under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea — on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ Instrument) — is no exception to this. It is not yet known when it will take place. This is bound to greatly affect the international agenda and strategies set for the ocean in 2020. The purpose of this study is to assess how the COVID-19 outbreak is affecting the various parties working on the BBNJ Treaty and how it is impacting on the work and activities carried out towards the conclusion of an agreement. This study is targeted at all actors working on the BBNJ Treaty. It takes no more than 6–7 minutes to complete the survey<https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/>, which is available in English. Any answers you provide are confidential and cannot be linked to you individually. Survey results will be used to write scientific articles. Deadline for participation is Sunday 17th May. To complete the survey please click on the link: https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/ You can consult our webpage<https://www.maripoldata.eu/> to learn more about the MARIPOLDATA research project and contact the Principal Investigator, Dr Alice Vadrot (alice.vad...@univie.ac.a<mailto:alice.vad...@univie.ac.at>) at any time. If you have any questions about the study or any difficulties accessing or completing the survey online, please feel free to contact Arne Langlet (maripoldata....@univie.ac.at<mailto:maripoldata....@univie.ac.at>). It is essential that as many BBNJ stakeholders as possible participate. We would therefore be most grateful if you would help us disseminate this survey to colleagues. I would like to thank you in advance for participating in this survey<https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/>. Kind wishes, Alice Vadrot and Team [cid:image003.jpg@01D62552.E4D5A140] Ass.
