Book excerpt: This book deals with Canada's oceans management policies since the conclusion of the 1982 Convention of the Law of the Sea. That Convention set out a jurisdictional framework for the management of the world's oceans, but it did not provide states with precise guidance on all the issues that can arise. As a state with one of the world's longest coastlines, Canada was one of the principal beneficiaries under the 1982 Convention regime. A study of Canadian policy is particularly significant, as Canadian oceans management places in relief many of the difficult questions yet to be resolved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Document overview: Canada's Oceans Action Plan (2005) identified the Beaufort Sea region in the Western Arctic as one of five priority large ocean management areas. This designation marks a significant change in the way oceans activities are coordinated and implemented in the Beaufort Sea. The Oceans Action Plan has led to the development of a plan designed to foster and balance responsible economic growth and sustainable development with marine conservation and environmental stewardship. The plan is being developed through a process called integrated oceans management. An important part of this planning process is effective communication between government groups and the Inuvialuit, who have long been considered the stewards of the land and sea in the Beaufort Sea region. The plan also depends on cooperation with relevant industry members, regional experts and stakeholders. For those who are interested in learning more about or contributing to the Beaufort Sea Integrated Oceans Management Plan, this document includes an overview of the integrated oceans management planning process, detailed information about the components of the plan for the Beaufort Sea and an explanation of the stages and objectives of this unique and collaborative process" -- ASTIS [online] database.

Download or read book Canada s Oceans Act A Narrative Analysis of Canada s Ocean Policy written by Nicol Macdonald and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada's Oceans Act, enacted in 1997, was intended to be the primary policy framework through which the Government of Canada would coordinate and integrate the management of ocean territory within its jurisdiction. More than 20 years following its passage, this research undertook a narrative analysis of the Oceans Act and its key implementing activities, specifically the Oceans Strategy in 2002 and the Ocean Plan in 2005, to address the questions of what the framing policy narrative of the Act was, and did it persist through these primary implementation activities. In addition, given that the amendment of the Act is now under review by the Parliament of Canada, this research also addressed the question of whether the framing policy narrative was relevant to the current public expectation regarding ocean management. To answer this question, a narrative analysis was conducted of the public statements made during the consultation process undertaken by the Joint Review Panel for the Northern Gateway Project in 2012-2013. The statements served as a proxy for the public expectations of ocean management, as ocean management was a primary narrative theme throughout the consultations. The results of the narrative analysis of the public consultation were then compared with the results of the narrative analysis of the framing policy narrative. The primary conclusions drawn from this research activity were that the framing policy narrative did persist through the implementation period of 1997-2006, but the progress was uneven, punctuated by periods of expansion under the Strategy and retraction under the Plan. In addition, the framing policy narrative was found to be relevant, but not sufficient to meet the current day public expectations around ocean management. Interestingly it was the 2002 Strategy that articulated a narrative around ocean use that came closest to meeting the 2012 public expectations. The research revealed as well that the recognition of Indigenous values in ocean management had modest expression in the official iii policy narrative from 1996 to 2006 but the 2012 public narrative showed that there was a high degree of correlation between traditional Indigenous values and the public expressions of expectation around ocean use. Both of these latter findings would be valuable for the current policy activity underway within the federal government to improve the policy and programs of ocean management. Finally, this dissertation illustrated the contribution that narrative analysis can provide to the assessment of major projects that often require understanding the complex balance of values involved in making decisions about the use or conservation of the environment.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intention is to use these results as a guide for the next step beyond the workshop, which is to develop an action plan to fully meet the commitments of Phase I of the OAP and to prepare the region for Phase II. [...] The outcome fell somewhat short of the original terms of reference which sought to prioritize activities of a work plan to achieve Phase I deliverables of the Oceans Action Plan and to prepare the region for delivery of Phase II. [...] The full agenda is provided in Appendix 3. The presentations and exercises were designed to raise understanding of terminology, explore the relationship between ecosystem-based management, integrated management and fisheries management, and develop elements of an action plan to support the delivery of Phases I and II of the Oceans Action Plan in the Region. [...] Oceans Action Plan in the Maritimes Region: A Focus on Ecosystem-Based Management in the region supported by the OAP include Marine Protected Areas, and development of a joint collaborative planning framework in the Gulf of Maine with the US. [...] There is general support for and acceptance of the directions outlined in the plan and a keen desire for action on the objectives-based management framework, the stakeholder advisory body, the Regional Committee on Ocean Management, and the management strategies and actions.

The strength of the book is that it is grounded in real-world examples from four case study countries and in this context at the very least exposes the reader to emergent oceans governance and policy issues. . . an excellent starting point for further analysis of oceans governance and sets up a research agenda for the future.' - Murray Patterson, Journal of Ecological Economics
