| Abstract |
This chapter focuses on experts and the scientific knowledge that they bring to bear in marine environmental governance. It introduces a number of prominent features of expertise and science in marine governance. Indeed, without experts and the ideas that they bring to the process, it would be all but impossible to apprehend the environmental challenges of marine governance, including those manifested in global environmental change. At the same time, however, experts and the science that they produce are often ‘shaped’ by political, legal, and economic contexts. In short, much as other ideas in marine environmental governance may be ‘constructed’ by powerful social and other forces, so, too, may be the experts who produce the science that informs governance policy be influenced by those same forces. |
