Orientation Tuesday, December 12,2000

• Our thesis is that the Oceans are a Commons
  that has historically been open to
  transportation, trade, free passage and for
  natural resource development. Currently, the
  most significant commons users, stakeholders and
  spokespersons have both a Global Vision and a
  World Class Reach.
• We will examine the question of who speaks with
  legitimate and authentic authority for the
  sustainability and health of this Commons
• We will present 1. An introduction to the Ecology
  of the Oceans, 2. the current status of the UN
  Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS) 3.the
  role of the USCG as an enforcement agency and 4.
  propose a monitoring supplement A System of
  Ocean Ombudspersons .

The Oceans as a Complex System

• The Oceans are part of a complex Physical System
• The hydrologic cycle, the carbon cycle, CO2
  buffer, thermal exchange, coastal interface.
• The Oceans are part of a complex Biological
  System
• The fisheries and migration, the corral reefs,
  the food web, sediments, biodiversity and
  evolution, genetic isolation and specialization
• The Oceans are part of a complex Human Social
  System
• Exploration and adventure transportation,trade
  and human migration natural resource storehouse
  recreation and playground.
• As a Commons, the abyss of the deep ocean
  floor, the Seas present governance and access
  challenges to the Global Community.

  Authority and the International Tribunal.
