But this paper mainly focuses on the environmental challenges faced by the SCS and the cooperation required from states to resolve these issues. Unfortunately, cooperation is hampered by territorial claims. However, this paper argues that these claims and the conflicts that arise from them do not erase states&#8217; international legal obligations to the marine environment of the SCS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2026\/09\/01-MARINE-ENVIRONMENTAL-PROTECTION-AND-COOPERATION-IN-THE-SOUTH-CHINA-SEA.pdf\"><strong>R<\/strong>EAD MORE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":0,"parent":86,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-100","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/120"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/100\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":180,"href":"https:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/100\/revisions\/180"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/86"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new-pages.upd.edu.ph\/ilsj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
