Ocean governance and marine environmental conservation: Concepts, principles and institutions
The oceans comprise approximately three-quarters of the Earth’s surface (United Nations, 2015). Oceans play a crucial role in maintaining the Earth’s ecosystem as well as the socioeconomic welfare of human beings (United Nations Economic and Social Council, 2016). Oceans “nurture life and shape the...

The oceans comprise approximately three-quarters of the Earth’s surface (United Nations, 2015). Oceans play a crucial role in maintaining the Earth’s ecosystem as well as the socioeconomic welfare of human beings (United Nations Economic and Social Council, 2016). Oceans “nurture life and shape the planet’s weather and climate” (Sands & Peel, 2012, p. 342). However, oceans are now under serious threat due to excessive fishing, violent fishing practices, ocean acidification, habitat loss, coastal pollution, rise of alien species, and climate change (Sands & Peel, 2012, p. 342; Rochette et al., 2015, p. 9).
