Introductory Background
Globally, the roles played by ocean and seas in the Earth system are still not fully known, so is the information to adequately understand its impact on human activities remains nascent (Ehlers 2016). But from existing knowledge, marine ecosystems worldwide provide essential goods and services for the benefit of nature and mankind (Duarte 2000; Palumbi et al. 2012). However, these ecosystems are threatened by multiple pressures and interactions, while there is a paucity of facts about the cumulative effects on maritime activities (Holon et al. 2018; Cormier et al. 2019). Hence, the range of interactions between anthropogenic and climatic pressures makes the management of the marine domain a complex task (McQuatters-Gollop 2012). The twenty-first-century ocean and climate change challenges have many faces, and there are different pathways to curtailing these challenges depending on the contexts. Among these pathways are marine management frameworks (e.g. Marine...
