<p class="Pa8" style="margin-top:5.0pt"><span class="A8"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In the 21st century Pacific views of the ocean as generative and supportive of distinct ways of human existence are challenged: for many islanders of Oceania, global climate
change is transforming the life-giving ocean into a threat. As the warming, acidification and rising of the sea erode reefs and coasts, and as new forms of extreme weather become regular, low-lying Pacific atoll nations may be destined for an unprecedented
political situation with permanent flooding of their land. </span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#221E1F"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Pa8" style="margin-top:5.0pt"><span class="A8"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Questions are asked whether disappearing land implies similar fates for the
<i>Exclusive Economic Zones </i>of atoll nations, and loss of economic resources for the future. New challenges to Oceania’s state and maritime sovereignties emerge, and predatory initiatives into sovereign-less ocean –
<i>Mare Nullius </i>– from high seas fisheries and seabed mining are predicted. In this field of contestation, Oceania’s diverse forms of governance generate responses that amount to re-claiming the ocean beyond 200-mile zones. New approaches to the
<i>UN Convention on the Law of the Sea </i>are developed by Pacific states, as seen at the
<i>United Nations Ocean Conference </i>in June 2017. This lecture discusses current and future
<i>Mare Nullius </i>scenarios for Oceania with reference to ongoing anthropological fieldwork ranging from Pacific villages and national capitals to United Nations meetings.
