Resumen

The importance of marine and ocean ecosystems to the livelihoods and wellbeing of fi shing and coastal communities around the world is well recognized. Global efforts have been made to prevent these ecosystems from deteriorating, but the challenges are huge, with ongoing pressures and stresses driven largely by a wide range of human activities. In this chapter, we fi rst employ the governability concept to examine these stressors in terms of their diversity, complexity, dynamics and scales in relation to the natural and social systems-to-be-governed, the governing systems and the governing interactions. Recognizing that the health of the ecosystem is an outcome of governing efforts and interactions between governing institutions and social actors, we apply the governability perspective to assess factors affecting the ability of the social system- to-be-governed and the governing system to cope with the present state of the marine and ocean ecosystems, and draw policy implications based on that analysis.
