Clear Seas partnered with a team at Dalhousie University and the Memorial University of Newfoundland on a multi-part project to help increase knowledge of maritime governance in Canada. The research sought to add clarity around the different pillars of maritime governance and to analyze drivers of change in the existing system. The study sorts through the conventions, laws, and codes that apply to shipping and how they impact marine trade in Canada and around the world. This detailed overview of maritime governance and its dynamics will help the public and policymakers to understand what is often a convoluted subject.
