Fisheries management lessons could govern Earth's orbital space
Original: How lessons from fisheries management could help us govern Earth's orbital space
Researchers argue that Earth's increasingly crowded orbits could be governed using approaches borrowed from fisheries management, where quotas, monitoring and shared rules have long been used to prevent overexploitation of a common resource. The comparison highlights growing concern over space debris and satellite congestion in low Earth orbit, and suggests international coordination could avert a similar 'tragedy of the commons' in space.
Why now: Rapid growth in satellites and space debris has renewed debate over how to regulate orbital resources sustainably.
