Dominion over the South China Sea and the recently declared West Philippine Sea has been under dispute for decades (1). To claim ownership, China has built artificial islands in the sea (1), and multiple nations, including the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan, have increased naval patrols, established military outposts, and installed defense infrastructure (2). This geopolitical conflict threatens marine ecosystems, the sustainability of fisheries, and the livelihoods of coastal communities. Scientists should advocate for global agreements and the establishment of marine reserves to help ease conflicts and safeguard marine life.
