Rockall and Hatton: resolving a super wicked marine governance problem in the high seas of the northeast Atlantic Ocean
The Hatton-Rockall plateau in the northeast Atlantic Ocean has long been the subject of interest for fishers, prospectors, conservationists, managers, planners, and politicians. As a feature that straddles national and international waters, it is subject to a multitude of competing and confounding r...
