The Development of Integrated Sea Use Management (Ocean Management and Policy Series)

Looks at the move towards integrated management by exploring boundary delimitation and the regional basis of organisation, in both developed and developing countries and from coastal estuaries to deep ocean. Fisheries, Recreation, Transportation, Waste Disposal, Mineral Extraction ... The World's Seas Are Subject To An Incredibly Diverse Range Of Uses. Until Now, These Have Mostly Been Considered On A Use By Use Basis, With A Wide Range Of Separate Organizations Involved In Government, Private And Voluntary Sectors. The Development Of Integrated Sea Use Management Examines The Movement Towards Integrated Management Of These Conflicting Uses, And Their Environmental Impacts. Three Key Points For Integrated Management Are Identified: The Theme Of Maritime Boundary Delimitation Which Governs The Allocation Of Sea Space Among States; The Management Of Individual Uses, Which Remains A Cornerstone Upon Which Integrated Management Can Be Built; And The Regional Basis Of Integrated Ocean Management. This Study Covers A Broad Range Of Case Studies Within Each Sphere, In Both Developed And Developing Countries, And From Coastal Estuaries To The Deep Ocean.

Fisheries, recreation, transportation, mineral extraction... the world's seas are subject to an incredibly diverse range of uses. Hitherto these have generally been considered on a use by use basis, with a multiplicity of separate organisations involved in government, private and voluntary sectors. The Development of Integrated Sea Use Management looks at the moves towards integrated management of these conflicting uses and of their environmental impacts. Three key starting points for integrated management are identified, namely, the theme of maritime boundary delimitation which governs the allocation of sea space among states; the management of individual uses, which remains a cornerstone upon which integrated management can be built; and the regional basis of integrated ocean management. The content ranges widely over detailed case studies within each sphere, in both developed and developing countries, and from coastal estuaries to the deep ocean.
