Abstract
Many countries define policies to manage oceans and coastal areas in order to utilize marine ecosystems strategically. When we reviewed the strategies and policies of various countries in relation to ocean sustainability, we found that biodiversity preservation is a key issue for policies related to sustainable marine development. We investigated the research trends and collaboration status of China, Japan and South Korea regarding marine biodiversity through the analysis of scientific articles using bibliometric analysis. The results showed that Japan collaborated the most with other countries compared to China and South Korea. All three countries collaborated with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries frequently. South Korea showed the strongest inter-collaboration amongst China, Japan and South Korea. Microorganism research is a common research topic in China, Japan and South Korea. Each country demonstrated its own prominent research area, such as local region research in China, deep-sea research in Japan and aquaculture research in South Korea.
Highlights
Twenty years have passed since the forming of the Jakarta Mandate, one of the most important milestones in the history of marine biodiversity
The Jakarta Mandate stated the importance of marine and coastal biological diversity, as follows: “It should go without saying that the conservation and sustainable use of marine and coastal biodiversity is a prerequisite for future life on our planet
A strategy for national biological diversity was confirmed in 2014 in South Korea. As part of this strategy, an action plan for the protection of coastal areas and fishery resource preservation was launched at the 12th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity held in Pyeongchang, South Korea
