Common Currents
Examining How We Manage the Ocean Commons
The worldâs oceans play a vital role in everyday life, from climate regulation to food provision, and are widely recognized as a global commons. But they also face daunting challenges in the form of climate change, population growth, escalating pollution, and rapidly evolving technologies that speed the reach and pace of resource extractions. Common Currents: Examining How We Manage the Ocean Commons calls upon experts in international ocean law, policy, and science to explore the question to what extentâand to what effectâwe currently manage the oceans as a global commons. This volume captures some key issues, questions, and lessons, to help enhance understanding of current practices and opportunities to grow collaborative management efforts.

This book is targeted at scholars, practitioners, and students concerned with ocean governance, ocean stewardship, and sustainable management of commons resources, as well as the law of the sea and public international law more generally. Select chapters of the book will be of particular interest for researchers and policymakers focused on (1) fisheries management; (2) exploration and exploitation of the deep seabed; (3) governance of polar regions; and (4) development of offshore energy resources.
