The oceans in Southeast Asia, including the Strait of Malacca and Singapore Strait through which over 80% of Japan's crude oil imports pass, are important transportation channels that support the prosperity of Japan as well as of the entire international community.
The oceans are the ultimate global commons, and even though we have already inflicted some serious damage to the human-ocean ecosystem, the hurdles we face to fix them are still surmountable compared to how much we have altered the land.
The oceans have absorbed 90% of this excess heat, and the energy absorbed by them equals an astonishing Hiroshima-sized bomb every second for 150 years.
No single power alone can secure maritime safety and therefore, maritime security requires diverse collaboration among not only nation states but also international organizations.
