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.

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.

Book excerpt: As climate change, resource overexploitation, and pollution leave ever more visible marks, ocean ecosystems, economies, and people are all affected. With coasts on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic, Canada faces a formidable challenge in building resilient, sustainable oceans and supporting the communities that rely on them. Sea Change reports on the OceanCanada Partnership, a multidisciplinary project to take stock of what we know about Canada’s oceans, construct possible scenarios for coastal regions, and create a national dialogue and vision. Three themes emerge from this impressive synthesis of social, cultural, economic, and environmental research: ocean change, access to ocean resources, and ocean governance. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and practitioners focus on finding solutions to rapid environmental and social transformation, outlining the implications for legislation and offering policy recommendations. Increasingly, civil society will have to advocate for oceans, and Sea Change will empower the voices of those who take up that task.
