Fig. 1: A holistic approach to maritime security.

Security discourses can be characterised in terms of whose security is under consideration7, and what is valued as worthy of protection. Here we draw on broader approaches from maritime security scholarship1 and the marine social sciences37 to advocate for maritime security to be understood more holistically - not only in terms of security for nation-states and the economy, but also for humans and the natural environment.
