Title: AREAS BEYOND NATIONAL JURISDICTION Opportunities for Enhancing Integrated Governance


1
AREAS BEYOND NATIONAL JURISDICTION
Opportunities for Enhancing Integrated
Governance
  • Global Oceans Forum 4
  • Hanoi, Viet Nam
  • Lori Ridgeway
  • Director General, International Policy and
    Integration
  • Fisheries and Oceans Canada

2
Contextual bottom lines
  • Behaviour is the goal
  • Challenging our concept of integration
  • A distributed responsibility in an integrated
    system every little bit counts

3
An economists eye
  • The aim change behaviour in favour of
    responsible use of oceans (ABNJ)
  • Behaviour responds to cumulative signals and
    incentives within the limits of capacity and
    knowledge/information
  • Ultimately Integrated Governance is not about
    form, but function
  • Need a well functioning system of governance

4
Broadening our concept of integration
  • Coherence is what matters, so incentives are
    aligned and the system is effective
  • Integration matters so the system plays to
    strengths, and the whole is greater than the sum
    of the parts
  • Intermestic integrating domestic and
    international interest
  • Horizontal connecting players, users,
    institutions
  • Vertical connecting technical through to
    decision-making/political
  • Tool-kit legal fwks/regulation through to
    economic incentives
  • Spatial zoning, area-based planning
  • Ecosystem-based approaches sectoral with
    ecosystem planning/IM
  • New, new mainstreaming (e.g., climate change)
  • Integration starts at home in our own
    governments

5
Who does Integration?
  • Distributed broad responsibility
  • Distributed broad opportunity
  • Distributed broad accountability

6
Where are the players?
  • Global norms and standards/conventions/frameworks
  • UN bodies (UNGA and other, FAO, UNEP, IOC-UNESCO)
  • FAO Fisheries and aquaculture
  • CBD (biodiversity)
  • WTO (trade)
  • IMO (shipping), ILO (labour standards)
  • CITES (endangered species)
  • OECD (narrower).
  • Regional Bodies/approaches/collaboration and
    cooperation
  • RFMOs
  • Regional Seas/LMEs
  • Ad hoc regional initiatives
  • ICES, PICES (science)
  • Ad Hoc on special topics (e.g., IUU) .
  • Bilateral Cooperation Agreements/MOUs
  • Trade agreements
  • Problem solving (diplomatic, technical)

7
Priority setting
  • Intensity of the agenda vs scarce resources
  • Priorities matter Integrated risk management
    (e.g., see GEF re-orientation)
  • Have existing commitments (hard law, soft law and
    political commitments)
  • Implementation gaps make it difficult to
    determine risks that need further intervention
  • Closing the implementation gap is no small task
    to make complete, even sectorally
  • Moving beyond current implementation, need good
    forecasting and analysis and visioning linked to
    risks. Includes assessment and feedback on
    effectiveness of current approaches
  • Choices will depend on risk (necessity) and
    resources
  • Validated intolerable risks can cause large
    regime shifts in law or management
  • OR a critical success factor elsewhere (e.g.
    climate)

8
Avenues of action
  • A continuum of planning from sectoral to possible
    legal frameworks
  • Cannot have integrated management if no strong
    sectors, able to manage to ecosystem outcomes as
    pillars
  • Sectorally-based management improvements are high
    payoff to ABNJ, especially if mainstream key
    cross-cutting priorities (EBM, Climate
    resilience) and include intrasectoral
    integration, as previously described to get
    incentives right
  • Impressive examples of regional and bilateral
    cooperation to draw inspiration from, to pilot
    integrated management and approaches in ABNJ
  • Tools development (technology, research on
    spatially based tools, monitoring and
    effectiveness)
  • Sectoral and integrated tables need integrated
    knowledge foundation to build with now--
    research, assessments, tools, indicators (e.g.,
    GRAME, ESBA critieria) bio-geographic zoning,
    GEOSS)
  • Closing legal gaps part of the possible package,
    but burden of proof of need will be heavy,
    including closing implementation gap and failed
    pilots to demonstrate gaps are material
  • Institutional cooperation essential. Playing to
    strengths of multi-stakeholders essential

Example Fisheries largest extractive activity
in oceans
  • Changing behaviour needs
  • Capacity building for national management
  • New global norms and standards
  • port state, flag state, deep seas management ,
    sustainable aquaculture
  • Impacts of fishing
  • Implementing UNGA 2006 Standard for Vulnerable
    Marine Ecosystems (VMEs), bycatch
  • Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries
  • Moving from single stocks to ecosystem based
    approaches and linking to spatial management
  • Stronger regional management cooperation
  • New RFMOs, RFMO Reform including KOBE Action plan
    for Tuna RFMOs, managing for VMEs, Allocations
    issues, overcapacity
  • IUU Fishing
  • (MCS, vessel data bases, IUU lists, port and flag
    state measures penalties etc)
  • Certification needs and traceability
  • Ecolabels, certification for trade/IUU, food
    safety
  • Interaction of RFMO and national management with
    other tools (CiTES etc)
  • Enabling better management of small scale and
    artisanal fisheries
  • Trade Business Development, especially for
    small scale fisheries and aquaculture

10
Integrated Science
  • GRAME (Global reporting and Assessment of the
    Marine Environment) (UNEP/IOC)
  • Assessment of assessments (regional)
  • 20 regions teams, envtl quality, fisheries,
    socio-economic dimension
  • Biodiversity Reporting, Identifying Vulnerable
    Marine Ecosystems (VMEs)
  • Oceans observation
  • Including modelling and forecasting, early
    warning, quality, fisheries
  • Technologically challenging
  • Link to Policy??
  • Climate, forecasting and impacts
  • Various, incl. ICES, PICES (North Pacific), IOC,
    IPY, carbon footprint
  • Vulnerable areas and ecosystems
  • EBSAs criteria (Canada), biogeographic zoning
    (Mexico, water column and benthos), Portugal
    (validation), CBD (Protected Area Working Group
    (Feb), CoP (May)
  • Oceans hot spots
  • ENGO work (corals, by-catch, turtles sharks,
    seabirds)
  • Invasive species (ICES, PICES, other incl APEC)
  • Understanding impacts and pressures
  • Supporting spatial management
  • See above re bio-geographic, including for
    representative MPAs as well as hot spots
  • LME projects on marine environmental quality

11
International Institutional Cooperation
  • Are international organizations contributing to
    or hindering international integration?
  • Joining up or competing? Examples of good and bad
  • May link to origins of mandates but are roles
    being fulfilled?
  • Literate in the linkages?
  • Urgent priority to align and link MOUs,
    partnering
  • Integrating events
  • UN-ICP(Climate 2009?)
  • Ad Hoc Working Group (extend, and decompress the
    agenda)
  • UN Resolutions (forward looking political
    commitment--use proactively)
  • GOF
  • Conferences and workshops
  • Capacity building
  • Need small regional approaches (e.g. APEC no
    secretariat, strong fwk)
  • IFIs
