Fisheries management lessons could govern Earth's orbital space
Original: How lessons from fisheries management could help us govern Earth's orbital space
A new article argues that the worsening congestion of Earth's orbital space could be addressed by borrowing governance tools from fisheries management, a field long used to manage shared resources under threat of overuse. The comparison frames orbit as a common-pool resource facing crowding and debris risks, and suggests quotas, monitoring and coordinated rules as possible models for satellite operators and space agencies.
Why now: Growing satellite congestion and debris concerns have renewed debate over how to regulate orbital space as a shared resource.
