Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- The ocean provides essential ecosystem services such as food production, off- shore renewable energy, carbon sequestration, and recreation. However, scientif- ic evidence warns us about the severe impacts the ocean is facing due to pollution, unsustainable fishing practices, and climate change effects. These effects include ocean acidification, biodiversity loss, and sea level rise. From international, EU, and national perspectives, there is an outspoken aim to boost the ‘blue’ economy while securing healthy marine ecosystems. However, the legal system handling these integrated demands is diverse and fragmented regarding sectoral aims, geographical areas, and governance levels. In their current form, they are not designed or fit to provide an ecosystem-based approach to managing human–ocean relations or to implementing the objective of a healthy and sustainable ocean. To integrate legal competence relevant to ocean governance in both practice and theory, scholars of different legal areas within the Department of Law col- laborate internally and, more importantly, with scholars within other disciplines and actors outside academia. Our ambition is for this interdisciplinary endeavor to prompt changes in socio-environmental governance structures and legal ed- ucation. From a socio-environmental perspective, we examine opportunities to integrate our knowledge of different legal areas and improve our transdisciplinary capacity. We analyze and discuss challenges, drivers, and pathways to provide knowledge supporting a transformation to a more sustainable blue economy. From a legal education perspective, interdisciplinarity requires a problem-based approach and the introduction of threshold concepts that shape how we apprehend a particular phenomenon. Ocean governance is an example of a concept providing a valuable opportunity for broader legal reasoning and for finding meaning- ful connections between national, regional, and international law.
