OCEAN GOVERNANCE: POLICY, LAW AND MANAGEMENT 2016 LECTURE TOPICS Lecturers are asked to provide in advance a brief list of topics to be covered in their presentations. The outlines received are listed below. CLAUDIO APORTA Co-management (7th June) Defining management “problems wicked” Cross-cultural issues in management What are communities? Defining citizen participation Co-management as an approach to engage communities KUMIKO AZETSU-SCOTT Ocean Acidification and its Implications (26th May) Accelerated increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere due to human activities (called anthropogenic CO2, mainly from fossil fuel burning,) affects the ocean by lowering its pH, a phenomenon known as ocean acidification (OA). About a quarter of anthropogenic CO2 since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s has been taken up by the oceans. This ocean’s service has slowed down the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere, but there is a price to pay. CO2 dissolves in the surface water and forms carbonic acid. Consequently, ocean pH has decreased by 0.1 units over the past 200 years, which is equivalent to a 30% increase in acidity. If global emissions of CO2 continue at the present rate, ocean pH is predicted to fall an additional 0.3 units by 2100 (150% increase in acidity). “Ocean Acidification” has become a focus of active research over the last decade. Accelerated efforts to understand the extent and impact of ocean acidification are underway. Ocean acidification is a global phenomenon with variable regional and local consequences. Mechanisms of ocean acidification, spatial temporal variability, methods used in OA research, possible effects on marine organisms and ecosystems, socio-economic impacts and mitigation and adaptation strategies will be discussed.

The purpose is to familiarize participants with maritime security and emergency management concepts and methodologies to address maritime interests, maritime-related obligations under nternational law, and counter maritime threats facing coastal and island states. The module will also assist participants prepare their ocean and coastal policy document which is to be presented to the International Round Table Panel at the end of the course. Participants will use Integrated Maritime Compliance and Enforcement (IMCE) methodology to develop an Integrated Maritime Security Policy using the 2016 Antillia scenario. o First, they will identify Antillia’s maritime interests, threats and obligations across the spectrum of marine activities: the protection of maritime sovereignty, the prevention of illegal activity, the protection of the marine environment, the management of marine resources, and marine safety. o Next, they will identify capabilities to address these maritime interests, threats and obligations in four categories: political, legal, operational/bureaucratic, and nonstate/user. 3 o The final task is to develop policy objectives and implementation recommendations. A quantitative analysis (using matrices) is included in the methodology to assist in developing well reasoned policies. Schedule: o Monday 27 June – Introduction to the module and to maritime security. This will include an introduction to Integrated Maritime Compliance and Enforcement (IMCE), the methodology the participants will use when developing an Integrated Maritime Security Policy for Antillia. The use of navies and coast guards within a maritime security regime will also be discussed. Lecturers are Bob Edwards & Leah Beveridge. o Tuesday 28 June - “Emergency Management in the Coastal Zone.” Lecturer is Murielle Provost. o Wednesday 29 June - all day Integrated Maritime Security Policy Exercise. Three groups will work independently in separate break-out rooms, using the main classroom as a central meeting space. Lecturers are Bob Edwards & Leah Beveridge. o Thursday 30 June - all day Integrated Maritime Security Policy Exercise. The exercise continues, with lunch break. The groups will meet together in plenary session at 1330 to present their Integrated Maritime Security Policy for Antillia. The exercise concludes at 1500. Lecturers are Bob Edwards, Glen Herbert & Leah Beveridge. MELANIE FOURNIER with JAMES BOXALL GIS / Web Mapping (30th May) Introduction to open source software for mapping and data sharing.

GARETH STUART Exploration and Risk (11th July) Exploration and risk Identification Management Collaborative Solution Building PETER TYEDMERS Ecological Economics (1st June) I’m going to come prepared to address two broad topics: First, the use of economic tools that can be used in resource and environmental management. These include: taxes and subsidies; resource use charges and the creation of property-like 8 interests and tradable permits. The second major theme that I might address depending on time and student interest relates more directly to my own research looking at the biophysical impacts of seafood production systems using life cycle assessment. This could include work I’ve done on Spanish tuna fisheries, Nova Scotia lobster fisheries and salmon farming systems.

It starts out by exploring intersections of global commons, comprised of the ocean, space, and the digital sphere of the Internet. Following a brief definition of remote sensing, various optical and radar-based sensor systems for ocean observation are discussed in terms of their capabilities and limitations. Current applications are selected in regard to ocean science, research and development, as well as operational marine surveillance and environmental monitoring. Topics include marine weather and sea state (wind, waves, ice), ocean colour, sea surface temperature, sea level rise, submarine cables, ship detection, pollution, and emergency response. Course participants will learn about remote sensing tools 9 and methods, recent discoveries, development trends and institutional arrangements concerning the utilization of digital Earth observation satellite technology. They will be able to reflect on societal impacts of current and future ocean-space relationships. 10
