“…Listen over aktuelle drivkrefter ble utformet basert på en kombinasjon av forfatternes erfaringer fra feltarbeid og analyser av endringer i nordlige kystområder og relevant faglitteratur (e.g. McFadden 2007, Shipman & Stojanovic 2007, Soma & Vatn 2009, Sandersen & Kvalvik 2014, Stokke 2017. Vi ba respondentene oppgi hvorvidt de mente disse virker negativt eller positivt på samfunn og/eller miljø i de nordlige kystområdene.…”

Coastal environments are under pressure world-wide. The challenges of environmental degradation, increasing resource exploitation and population growth are exacerbated by climate change. Coastal zone management has emerged during the last few decades as an attempt to integrate different user interests and policy levels in order to reduce conflict levels and promote more sustainable development trends. However, coastal zone management requires understanding and consensus among stakeholders of the problems, the tasks to be solved and the drivers of change in order to be effective. We surveyed a sample of Norwegian coastal experts, i.e. professionals in management and research who work actively with different topics related to social, economic and environmental issues linked to the coastal zone in northern Norway. Based on 35 potential drivers of change covering biological and physical factors, science and technology, society and economy and political and institutional aspects, the respondents were asked to assess 1) the impacts on society and environment in northern coastal Norway, 2) the extent to which these factors were adequately recognized in policies and plans related to the coastal zone, and 3) at what geographic level this was most pertinent. This was followed by open ended questions about required management priorities in order to support future sustainable development. The broad picture is that coastal experts perceive most biological physical drivers as negative influences on society and environment, while technology and knowledge are judged as positive drivers. A majority perceive that social and economic drivers of change have no or slightly negative effects on the developments in the coastal zone. We link our discussion to the key challenges in on-going coastal zone management processes in Norway; regional and inter-municipal plans, inadequate local participation, the need for a broader knowledge base, the fragmented nature of the planning system and the lack of inter-sectorial coordination.

“…In Chile, the government hands‐off approach was widely recognized as the cause of the ISA virus epidemic in 2007 and the ensuing collapse of the industry (Alvial et al ., ). Norwegian aquaculture regulation is considered to be the most rigorous, especially as regards rules on nutrient wastes, fish disease and sea‐louse levels, but has also been criticized for being fragmented and for prioritizing regional economic development over environmental stringency (Liabø et al ., ; Sandersen and Kvalvik, ). In the European Union (EU), aquaculture has not been regulated as a separate sector, but is governed by general, trans‐industry EU rules on feed and food safety, fish health and environmental protection.…”

Corporate Strategies in Environmental Governance: Marine harvest and regulatory change for sustainable aquaculture

Focusing on Marine Harvest ASA, the world's largest salmon producer, this article examines the role of corporations in promoting sustainable aquaculture and regulation, exploring why a leading multinational may choose to adopt and implement a proactive sustainability strategy. It develops a neo-pluralist model for conceptualizing drivers behind proactive strategy formation, and finds that a company-specific combination of simple and mixed motives linking profit-maximization and risk calculations to a longer-term normative sustainability agenda can explain why corporations become entrepreneurs for sustainability. It concludes with some reflections on implications of the findings for understanding business in environmental governance more broadly.
