Fisheries management lessons proposed for governing orbital space
Original: How lessons from fisheries management could help us govern Earth's orbital space
Researchers argue that Earth's orbit should be governed like fisheries: as a shared resource vulnerable to overuse. Writing in Phys.org, they suggest applying tools such as quotas, monitoring and coordinated rules to prevent overcrowding and debris in low Earth orbit. The proposal comes as satellite constellations grow rapidly and scientists warn that orbital capacity could be exhausted without stronger international coordination.
Why now: Rapid growth of satellite launches and space debris has renewed debate over how to regulate orbit as a shared global resource.
