Corrigendum: Marine Genetic Resources in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction: Promoting Marine Scientific Research and Enabling Equitable Benefit Sharing (Front. Mar. Sci., (2021), 8, 667274, 10.3389/fmars.2021.667274)

Abstract

In the original article, there was a mistake in the legend for Figures 1 and 2 as published. The photographs in Figures 1H and 2E were incorrectly attributed to T. M. Shank and should have been attributed to L. Levin. The correct legend appears below. “Figure 1. Advanced infrastructure required for marine scientific research in ABNJ. (A) RV Polarstern (Germany; K. Linse), (B) RV Cabo de Hornos (Chile; J. Sellanes), (C) RV Atlantis (United States; T. Shank), (D) SA Agulhas II (South Africa; B. Frinault, University of Oxford), (E) Autosub AUV (United Kingdom; A. D. Rogers), (F) Isis ROV (United Kingdom; A. D. Rogers), (G) Shinkai 6500 submersible (Japan; A. D. Rogers), and (H) Sentry AUV (United States; L. Levin).” “Figure 2. Sampling equipment for marine scientific research. (A) Water sampling rosette with Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) sensors for collecting water samples for physical oceanographic measurements, biogeochemistry, and microbiology (A. D. Rogers). (B) Macrozooplankton trawl (A. D. Rogers); a multiple net system which collects samples of small zooplankton. (C) Bongo net for taking vertically hauled samples of plankton (M. L. Taylor). (D) Specimen of the urchin Dermechinus horridus being sampled using an ROV “slurp gun” (A. D. Rogers). (E) Science skid of the submersible Alvin showing push cores and biobox for samples (L. Levin). (F) Multicorer for deployment over the side of a research vessel (M. L. Taylor). (G) Core tube with sample of sediment (M. L. Taylor). (H) Epibenthic sledge, a type of trawl used to take samples of megafauna from the seafloor (M. L. Taylor).” Duncan Currie was not included as an author in the published article. The corrected Author Contributions Statement appears below. “AR and HH-D developed the concept of the manuscript and lead the writing of the manuscript. AR prepared the figures, table, and SupplementaryMaterials. MJ contributed sections on analyses ofmarine genetic resources as well as text and comments on the rest of themanuscript. AB, EE-B, DC, KG, JG, LL, KL,MR, ER-L, JS, TS, KS, PS, MT, and DW contributed equally to text, ideas, citations, and images for figures. All authors contributed to the article and approved the submitted version. Further, due to the addition of the author, Duncan Currie, a Conflict of Interest statement has been added to the article. The authorMarcel Jaspars has also declared a Conflict of Interest. The full, updated, statement is given below. “DC was employed by Globe Law, New Zealand. MJ is a founder of, shareholder in, and consultant to GyreOx Therapeutics, a company that uses DSI to engineer enzymes to create complex molecules to treat human disease. The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.” The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
