Abstract
This contribution compares the European Union’s newly-adopted Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP) to the integrated ocean policy of Canada, which in 1996 became the first country to declare that it had a full-scale integrated ocean policy. It can be presumed that the European Union (EU) can benefit from the Canadian ocean policy, both as a model to construct an integrated ocean policy as well as from the experience gained in Canada while implementing its ocean policy. This analysis focuses on the basic documents laying out integrated ocean policies in Canada and the European Union, respectively. First, however, it is important to examine in general the evolution of integrated ocean policies, which will assist in understanding the place of Canadian and EU integrated ocean policies in a larger trajectory.
