International marine conservation law and its implementation in Australia

This chapter takes at its point of departure SDG 14 (life below water) and the specific target of conservation (SDG 14.5). It shows that interpreting SDG 14.5 within the context and purpose of Agenda 2030 means paying attention to three main sustainability criteria. The first relates to substantive socio-ecological inter-pillar relationality, that is to say an acknowledgement of ontological relationality between pillars, beyond an understanding of sustainability as trade off. The second relates to intra-pillar relationality, that is links between conservation and other environmental sectors and the third to procedural inclusion through participatory decision-making in line with the epistemic pluralisation of sustainability. These three criteria are used to assess the sustainability of current EU marine conservation law. One legislative instrument on marine conservation in EU law is chosen as example, namely the Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora. The Habitats Directive is the cornerstone of conservation law in the EU and it is among the instruments listed by the European Commission as ways to support the implementation of Agenda 2030 and target 14.5.

The Way

This work explores how colonial marine conservation policy in Madagascar had the dual purpose of facilitating the expansion of capital and ‘civilising’ the way Malagasy fishers used marine resources. I analyse how the legacy of narratives that emerged to bolster state-led conservation intervention during the colonial period are still present in current conservation and development narratives, perpetuating in some cases the coloniser–colonised relationship between conservation organisations and local resource users. These findings indicate a need to revamp certain aspects of marine conservation legislation in Madagascar and the need for conservation organisations to explicitly acknowledge this history when working with local resource users in order to avoid reproducing historical injustices.
