Clusters and stewardship
Published in Peter B. Myles, Maritime Clusters and the Ocean Economy, 2017
Coastal resources cannot be used by any interest group as their exclusive right. The sea cannot be regarded as a common basin for effluent disposal. Almost all coastal and marine areas produce or support multiple products and services. Sectoral solutions usually ‘transfer’ the problem between resources, products and services. Tourism will not flourish if the area loses its attractions to visitors. Fisheries suffer as a result of the pollution problems. Industry and energy facilities can degrade the environment for all other activities. There is, therefore, a need to bring sectoral activities together to achieve a commonly acceptable coastal management framework. The challenge, a recurring theme throughout this book, is to develop the most appropriate institutional arrangement and strategy that will encourage collaboration and consultation at all levels within a responsible ocean governance framework.

Knowledge underpins Ocean governance, and provides the means to understand the Ocean and its functioning, and develop appropriate measures for its sustainable management and use. Ocean observing allows the collection of data to monitor and report on the state of the Ocean, make predictions about its future, and to assess the impact of governance regulations and success towards achieving the intended sustainability goals. Observational data also help to ensure that the development of economic activities in the Ocean are indeed sustainable.

Ocean governance means the coordination of various uses of the ocean and protection of the marine environment. It is also defined as the necessary process to sustain ecosystem structure and functions (Pyć 2016). This author adds that an effective ocean governance requires the implementation of globally-agreed international rules and procedures, regional actions based on common principles, and national legal frameworks and integrated policies.
