Marine Policy

Marine Policy is a scientific field focused on managing human activities and interactions with the ocean. Its main objective is to balance economic, social, and cultural needs with the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources and ecosystems. Marine Policy guides the development of laws, regulations, plans and other policies that are designed to manage human activities and interactions with the ocean, estuaries and coastal areas. By doing so, it helps to ensure that government, industry and public sectors work harmoniously and in a sustainable way within the marine environment. Marine Policy helps in the protection of oceans and seas, while also promoting the use of marine resources in a responsible and sustainable manner. It is seen as an important tool for managing marine resources, promoting sustainable development and facilitating the development of evidence-based decision making.
