Résumé
Since Rio 1992, seas and coastal areas have increasingly been taken into consideration in public policies. Oceans and coasts are considered to be the very places exacerbating global changes and their consequences, including climate change, bioinvasion, waste, pollution, piracy and migration. Solutions are applied at a local level but need to be considered from a global perspective, requiring shared governance underpinned by efficient coordination between state, inter-state and supra-state stakeholders, as well as cooperation with private sector and civil society stakeholders. Awareness of global issues and the related role of coasts and seas is still recent and rather vague. It is taking shape through the harnessing of science, technology and the law to feed new forms of governance in a fluid and highly uncertain world. Will the recently implemented maritime strategies meet expectations? The case of Europe, including France, and East Asia, including Japan, will be given particular attention.
