Environmental Governance in the Gulf of St Lawrence
No Customer Reviews
Scrutinizes the environmental policies that manage the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Gulf of St. Lawrence is one of Canada's largest and most complex marine systems, bordering on five provinces and including 250,000 people living in proximity to the coast. Managing the aquatic environment of this vast territory includes not only biophysical processes but also human use, policy jurisdiction, and politics. Environmental Governance in the Gulf of St. Lawrence focuses on the coastal margin and deepwater Gulf in a series of policy studies, covering topics such as marine infrastructure, fisheries, offshore petroleum, coastal zones, marine transport, aquaculture, large ocean management, protected areas, and Indigenous governance. The authors examine each semi-autonomous field of environmental action within a geopolitical context and then compare them as parts of a policy whole, with the goal of understanding the management of this vital region. This careful study yields a picture of polycentric politics, where environmental policy subnetworks interact. Environmental Governance ultimately poses questions about possible reform agendas.
