  • Summary

    This Chapter provides a working, legal definition of marine genetic resources. In doing so, the Chapter explores key issues surrounding the legal definition of that term. The discussion is set in the context of the importance of the legal definition of marine genetic resources for the legal certainty and clarity of international legal regimes. Providing a clear, working definition of MGRs clarifies the universal understanding of MGRs across existing and future MGR-related regimes and relationships between rules included in those regimes. A compass in the form of a working definition of MGRs helps navigate the sea of uncertainties and strengthen the rule of law.
