Harvesting the Waves explores how ecological diplomacy can bridge conflicting interests, transforming disputed waters into areas of cooperation. The creation of a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the South China Sea presents a promising strategy for alleviating geopolitical tensions. By fostering shared conservation goals and promoting sustainable resource management, these efforts encourage peaceful collaboration among diverse stakeholders. Drawing on comprehensive research and real-world case studies, the book sheds light on the delicate balance between environmental stewardship and international relations. It examines the science behind MPAs, their proven effectiveness in preserving biodiversity, and the socio-economic benefits they offer to coastal communities. Through compelling storytelling, thorough research, and expert insights, Harvesting the Waves makes a compelling case for prioritizing marine conservation as a means of ensuring long-term regional stability.

A must-read for policymakers, conservationists, and anyone invested in the future of our oceans, this book reveals how safeguarding marine ecosystems is not just an environmental imperative-it's a diplomatic opportunity that could reshape the geopolitical landscape of the South China Sea and beyond.
