What is the institutions of ocean governance?Show answer
Because the ocean is partly a global commons, its governance depends on cooperation among sovereign states through these institutions. UNCLOS is the foundation; the IMO sets global rules for shipping safety and marine pollution; regional fisheries bodies try to manage shared stocks; and treaties on biodiversity and pollution add environmental protection. The recent High Seas Treaty (the BBNJ agreement) sought to extend protection to biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction. The structural weakness is that these bodies can set rules but have limited power to enforce them against states that decline to comply.
