The mechanics of blue growth: Management of oceanic natural resource use with multiple, interacting sectors

AUTHORS: Dane H. Klinger, Anne Maria Eikeset, Brynhildur Davíðsdóttir, Anna-Marie Winter, James R. Watson ABSTRACT: Integrated management of multiple economic sectors is a central tenet of blue growth and socially optimal use of ocean-based natural resources, but the mechanisms of implementation remain poorly understood. In this review, we explore the challenges and opportunities of multi-sector management. We describe the roles of key existing sectors (fisheries, transportation, and offshore hydrocarbon) and emerging sectors (aquaculture, tourism, and seabed mining) and the likely synergistic and antagonistic inter-sector interactions. We then review methods to help characterize and quantify interactions and decision-support tools to help managers balance and optimize around interactions.
