Abstract
Ocean and coast are considered like the very place of exacerbating global changes and their consequences including climate change, bio-invasion, wastes, pollutions, piracy, migrations, etc. Responses are applied at the local level but should be thought from a global perspective, requiring a shared governance underpinned by efficient coordination between state, interstate and supra-state actors as well as cooperation with non-instituted actors. The awareness of global issues and related role of coasts and seas is still recent and rather blur. It takes shape through mobilising the law, science and technology in order to feed new forms of governance in a fluid and much uncertain world. Such is the challenge of the recently instituted maritime strategies or ocean policy in both France and Japan, taking place in very different context but also showing convergences that could lead to fruitful collaboration between the two countries and the regions they belong to.
