“…The hypothesis for debate in this chapter is 'before the offshore aquaculture sector can optimise production regardless of the target species and technology employed, a better understanding of the links between governance structure and offshore multi-use management implementation is required to facilitate growth of this sector'. The next section shares lessons from development of marine governance models in a large marine ecosystem context based on the work by Fanning et al (2007Fanning et al ( , 2009) and Mahon et al (2008Mahon et al ( , 2011 to illustrate the opportunities or supporting development of the offshore aquaculture sector associated with adopting a multi-level governance framework…”

“…Therefore, to debate our hypothesis stated earlier, this section illustrates the importance of having a governance framework to facilitate decision-making. It illustrates this through marine governance research done to support sustainable marine resources management in the Caribbean, using a policy cycle based approach (Fanning et al 2007;Turner et al 2014). An adaptive governance framework was useful in helping different countries to identify their strengths and weaknesses in governance structures which can be achieved using a policy cycle exercise to analyse existing arrangements for offshore aquaculture (Fanning et al 2007).…”

Aquaculture Perspective of Multi-Use Sites in the Open Ocean

The notion of the sea as a seemingly endless source of resources has long dominated marine governance. This is despite that different perceptions and valuation systems underlie the institutional structures that govern and manage marine systems. Socio-political considerations cover the whole range of stakeholders and their type of involvement in the establishment and operation of multi-use offshore systems. However, within the vast variety of regulations inside the EU, the EU Member States as well as in North America, their implementation for offshore multi-use settings is as yet incipient and examples of best practice in multi-use scenarios are needed. These need to combine different knowledge systems (e.g. authorities, decision-makers, local communities, science, etc.) to generate effective insights into the management of multiple uses of ocean space and to complement risk-justified decision-making. Pre-existing social networks can provide significant political leverage for governance transformations as required for the move offshore. That said, a range of organizational and social challenges related to the collective use of a defined ocean territory have to be taken into account. For instance, the creation and compliance with defined responsibilities and duties or the introduction of cross-sectoral management lines, such as an offshore co-management, that integrates the different demands and practices of the involved parties within an operational scheme that is practical on a day to day manner are in case in point. Indeed, how people perceive and value marine environments and the resources they provide determines individual and collective preferences, actions and strategies in the marine realm.

Governance of Marine Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Strong and coherent regional governance is critical for tackling the increasing number and variety of threats to fisheries and biodiversity within and beyond national jurisdiction including overfishing, destructive fishing practices, marine pollution and climate change impacts. This chapter examines the existing legal and institutional framework for fisheries and biodiversity governance at the regional level including key regional organizations such as regional fisheries management organizations, regional seas organizations and non-binding regional initiatives. As well as highlighting the fragmentary nature of regional oceans governance, this analysis discloses the wide variety of approaches to and differing rates of progress in harmonizing fisheries and biodiversity conservation objectives across major oceanic regions.

In the eastern Caribbean, many people depend on the good governance of fisheries and other marine resources for their livelihoods and for development to be sustainable. The governance of small-scale fisheries in the eastern Caribbean often lacks the interactions among stakeholders needed to sustain fisheries management. There is an urgent need to understand networks in the governance of these fisheries without claiming that they are necessarily good or bad. Small, low status government fisheries units often have tenuous links to public sector policy and resource users. Other stakeholders, such as in tourism, may be more connected to policy, marginalizing small-scale fisheries even in the context of integrated coastal management. Network analysis has been applied to both social systems and ecological systems, but much less to social-ecological systems. We use cases of coastal and fisheries networks in the Caribbean to investigate and seek to understand the governance of social-ecological systems in the eastern Caribbean and their capacity to adapt.
