The role of science in ocean governance
نویسنده
چکیده
Sustainable governance of the ocean demands a more integral and timely role for science. Although, science hasplayed a limited role in global ocean governance regimes, science has made essential contributions to governance onregional scales, particularly when there is strong scientific consensus, clear identification of problems and solutions,and convergence with cultural ideas. Science is especially challenged to contribute to: understanding intergenerationaland interspatial effects, addressing inherent uncertainty about the behavior of marine ecosystems, and integratedecological–economic models and assessments needed for adaptive management. Pressing issues requiring strongerinclusion of science in ocean governance include the global nitrogen cycle and coastal eutrophication, irreversiblehabitat degradation, sustainable exploitation of living resources, and the effects of climate change on ocean andcoastal environments. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
