This comprehensive handbook, prepared by leading ocean policy
academics and practitioners from around the world, presents
in-depth analyses of the experiences of fifteen developed and
developing nations and four key regions of the world that have
taken concrete steps toward cross-cutting and integrated national
and regional ocean policy. All chapters follow a common framework
for policy analysis. While most coastal nations of the world
already have a variety of sectoral policies in place to manage
different uses of the ocean (such as shipping, fishing, oil and gas
development), in the last two decades, the coastal nations covered
in the book have undertaken concerted efforts to articulate and
implement an integrated, ecosystem-based vision for the governance
of ocean areas under their jurisdiction. This includes goals and
procedures to harmonize existing uses and laws, to foster
sustainable development of ocean areas, to protect biodiversity and
vulnerable resources and ecosystems, and to coordinate the actions
of the many government agencies that are typically involved in
oceans affairs. The book highlights the serious conflicts of use in
most national ocean zones and the varying attempts by nations to
follow the prescriptions emanating from the 1982 UN Law of the Sea
Convention and the outcomes of the 1992, 2002, and 2012 sustainable
development summits. The interrelationship among uses and processes
in the coast and ocean requires that ocean governance be
integrated, precautionary, and anticipatory. Overall, the book
provides a definitive state-of-the-art review and analysis of
national and regional ocean policies around the world.
