2007 OMRN ConferenceOttawa, October 24-27, Key Issues to be Considered  What is the current balance of management between coastal & ocean?  Where are the ‘hot spots’ in the needs for management intervention?  At what spatial scale are the ‘hot spots’ found and/or best approached?  To what extent can public and community involvement be utilized to increase efficiency of management in each of coastal and ocean efforts?  To what extent might jurisdictional challenges reduce management efficiency of coastal and ocean efforts? What are risks of this happening?  What are the opportunities for “scaling-up” from coastal initiatives to large-scale ocean management, or alternatively, “scaling-down” from a large-scale to coastal efforts?  In specific cases, what social, economic, cultural, ecological or biophysical factors must be considered in impacting on the potential for success of coastal versus ocean efforts?

2007 OMRN ConferenceOttawa, October 24-27, Balancing Coastal and Ocean Management Initiatives  On the one hand, there is clearly a connection between coasts and oceans. Both ocean management and coastal management involve the balancing of multiple uses within an ecosystem approach. Maybe those involved in ocean management should automatically include coasts...  On the other hand, there are key differences between “ocean” and “coast”. The latter necessarily must deal with: jurisdictional concerns, the land/sea interface, and impacts of one on the other the reality of human settlements, large and small, the fact that on the coast, there is more scope for community-based and/or participatory management.

2007 OMRN ConferenceOttawa, October 24-27, Two Realities  There are typically greater human complexities to be faced in management on the coast, but also a greater potential to draw on existing human institutions and community support for management.  This implies that benefits and risks will each differ between a focus on coast vs. on open ocean, in terms of management.  Suppose that a certain jurisdiction is involved in ICOM, and wishes to optimize its balance of coastal and ocean initiatives  This balance may be holistic, strategic, i.e. seeking an overall balance among all activities, or of a ‘marginal’ nature, i.e. given a certain current balance, to decide where to direct subsequent incremental expenditures.
