How is the content of this website developed?

While the website was designed and the management is by the Girguis Lab at Harvard University, the content has been developed based on information on best scientific practices and considerations for honoring the relevant rights of indigenous peoples and local communities that have been gathered through reserach and workshops hosted by the Girguis Lab with leading scientists and experts.

Please note that this is a living site! We will continue to update the site on a periodic basis as well as at significant milestones (i.e., adoption of the BBNJ Treaty and implementation of the BBNJ Treaty.)
