摘要
南海困局让国际社会的关注点集中在岛屿之争和能源之争上．忽视了南海珍贵而脆弱的生态系统。尤其是作为重要的海上国际航道，南海长期承受着来自航行活动对生态系统的威胁，然而南海周边国家对此并无采取单边、双边或多边行动。本文提出以维护南海生态系统可持续发展的“共同保护”原则为视角，为缓解南海困局寻找新突破口，通过在南海建立特别敏感海域的契机，以期形成南海地区合作新局面。
International attention to the impasse in the South China Sea （SCS） has focused on disputes over island territories and energy resources while overlooking the region＇s valuable and fragile ecosystems. In particular, the ecosystems in interna- tional waterways have endured threat from maritime traffic activities. Even so, bor- dering States have yet to implement unilateral, bilateral or multilateral measures to protect these areas. This article argues that the principle of “joint protection” of the sustainable development of the SCS ecosystems offers an opportunity for breaking the impasse in the SCS and that the establishment of a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area （PSSA） in the SCS raises a new prospect for cooperation in the region.
