Research project: Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI)
Expanding human activity in the deep ocean has created an urgent need to engage experts in biology, law, policy, economics, business, regulation and conservation in stewardship issues. The DOSI initiative - affiliated to the INDEEP project (International Network for Scientific Investigation of Deep-Sea Ecosystems) is co-led by Dr Maria Baker of the University of Southampton, Dr Lisa Levin (SIO, USA), Dr Elva Escobar (UNAM, Mexico) and Kristina Gjerde (IUCN, USA).
