From Speciecide to Ocean Justice: Reframing Marine Governance and Responsibility

Ocean… a resource, or a victim of global systems?
The Social Research Institute, Chulalongkorn University (CUSRI) invites you to a compelling public lecture: “From Speciecide to Ocean Justice: Reframing Marine Governance and Responsibility”
This lecture reveals how the ocean is not only exploited as a resource but deeply entangled in systems of global harm—from illegal fishing and wildlife trafficking to human exploitation and environmental degradation.
>>> Who counts as a victim in our current systems?
Dr. Emiline Smith challenges conventional perspectives and introduces the concept of Ocean Justice—expanding responsibility beyond humans to include marine ecosystems and non-human life.
>>> Key insights:
• The ocean as source, transit, and sink of harm
• Hidden inequalities shaping marine exploitation
• Speciecide: systemic destruction of non-human life
• Rethinking governance toward justice, accountability, and sustainability
