| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project explored types of ocean governance that realize meaningful interaction with marine science by conducting case studies of international governance mechanisms. Through the project, we discovered the following four ingredients of ocean governance: 1) consensus for "best available scientific evidence"; 2) varieties of mechanisms for providing scientific information, including formal scientific committees to informal information gathering opportunities; 3) variety in the effect of scientific information on formal decision-making; and 4) implementing the flexibility of regulatory measures by using reference clauses. Meanwhile, the relationship between science and politics is becoming more complex as political actors are becoming more strategic about the use of scientific information for their own political advantage.
