Anthony Bergin, David Brewster and Aakriti Bachhawat, authors of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s report titled Ocean Horizons.
The publication Ocean Horizons examines how Pacific island countries and Indian Ocean island states are managing and prioritising their maritime security challenges. The Indo-Pacific islands face an intricate offshore tapestry: the pervasive maritime nature of the strategic environment in the region makes most threats maritime in one way or another.
We found that maritime threats and risks for the Indo-Pacific island states are increasing. That’s in part because of the general lack of effective maritime security identified in our study.
