Beyond the Freedom of the Seas: Ocean Policy for the Third Millennium

Highlights

  • I had the great fortune to know and to work with Roger Revelle

  • As densities of use increased, governance institutions-including restricted access and private property rights--developed to create order in that use, and to channel its costs and benefits (McCay, 1998; Coastal States Organization, 1990). Such incursions to the "open access, common pool" notion are occurring in the ocean, and in the atmosphere, creating significant changes in what McCay has termed the "culture of the commons'--the human beliefs, values, and preferences that determine the nature of our governance institutions (McCay, 1998)

This factor matters precisely because humans sea monsters regularly appeared on charts, and dire develop governance institutions for those spaces and prognoses were made for those who ventured too far resources about which the}, care most, and with which toward the "ends of the earth." And, because they they are the most intimately involved

Summary

Introduction

I had the great fortune to know and to work with Roger Revelle. I did not work with him on science, but rather on issues of the relationship between science and policy-making, and on the educational process through which ocean professionals of the future should be trained. As densities of use increased, governance institutions-including restricted access and private property rights--developed to create order in that use, and to channel its costs and benefits (McCay, 1998; Coastal States Organization, 1990) Such incursions to the "open access, common pool" notion are occurring in the ocean, and in the atmosphere, creating significant changes in what McCay has termed the "culture of the commons'--the human beliefs, values, and preferences that determine the nature of our governance institutions (McCay, 1998). It is this history and progression I will characterize, with a prognosis for ocean space and resources in particular. It is our human values regarding the world ocean to which I turn
