Features of a Governance Regime for Oceans

From: The New Geo-Governance

$3.06

Canada’s marine dominion underpins numerous industries including commercial fishing, aquaculture, transport, shipbuilding, tourism, mining, and oil and gas extraction. Access to the oceans is also required for purposes of scientific investigation, defence, and recreation. The activities of these stakeholders are not necessarily very well coordinated, and may interact negatively not only within the Canadian sphere

of influence, but also with other oceanic socio-technical systems under foreign or international jurisdiction.
