Westview Special Studies in Ocean Science and Policy

The Management of Pacific Marine Resources: Present Problems and Future Trends

John P. Craven

The mineral, food, and energy potential of the oceans increases in importance as land-based resources approach their ultimate limits. International planning for the utilization of common ocean areas beyond territorial waters has thus become a vital task, one made difficult by competition among nations and the unregulated operations of multinational companies.

As a senior adviser to the U.S. delegation at UNCLOS III (Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea), Dr. Craven provides an expert look at the full range of ocean resources and an insider's view of UN negotiations on common areas of the Pacific Ocean. His book is essential reading for those interested in the future uses of the oceans and in who will benefit from the bounty.

John P. Craven , an ocean engineer and lawyer, was chief scientist of the Polaris system and promoted the first successful U.S. experiment in generating usable energy from the thermal gradient in tropical ocean waters. He is now dean of Marine Programs at the University of Hawaii, marine affairs coordinator for the state of Hawaii, and director of the Law of the Sea Institute.

In the late 1970s a sudden wave of organizational enthusiasm crested for various projects concerning the Pacific. Japan's Prime Minister (1979-80) Masayoshi Ohira initially envisioned the concept of a "Pacific Community" and discovered a mutually interested party in Australia's Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser. In fact, Australia sponsored the first in a series of seminars about a Pacific Community of nations. Meanwhile, in the United States, congressional committees compiled reports and held hearings on Ohira's Pacific Community idea.

In the structure of world order the technologically strong are usually the first to demand and establish organization and institutions. The technologically weakthe developing nationscustomarily react with apprehension, fearing that the strong want to freeze their comparative strength. So it was with the Pacific Community, A Korean described the concept as "a prematurely born child." Voices from ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations), protective of their newly valued subregional cooperation, were fiercely cautious about what one of their spokesmen called "promoting a generalized Community."

In the Western Pacific and East Asia, wartime Japan's Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere still lives in memory. Forty years later, another coprosperity sphere, even if promoted by certifiably democratic politicians in Japan, Australia, and the United States, still recalls too many disturbing overtones. Just now, it seems, every U.S., Japanese, or Australian drumbeat for new Pacific-wide political institutions intensifies the polite-but-firm, passive resistance of the Pacific's "South"ASEAN, the Pacific islands, the Republic of Korea, and the two parts of a still divided China.

Meanwhile, two independent American institutes engaged in policy research have remained deeply interested in the future of the Pacificthe Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies and the University of Minnesota's newly expanded Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs. Together they envisioned a new approach to the Pacific Community, namely, to set aside for the time being the issue of political organization in the Pacific Basin and begin instead with the underlying questions: What concrete problems need to be tackled, what functions need to be performed that might require new forms of international consultation, cooperation, coordination, parallel national action, or common action by communities-of-the-concerned in the Pacific Basin?

Until there is some consensus about what has to be done and by whom, the questions raised by "Pacific Community" in its generalized form are indeed unanswerable because prematurely political. A political question like "Which countries should be 'members' of a Pacific Community?" can be addressed only in the context of the functional questions: What action is required, and which countries are in a position to do what about it? To answer these questions, the Pacific Basin Project was born, a joint venture of the Aspen and Humphrey institutes.

Our plan of attack was first to consider, in a series of multinational but nongovernmental workshops, four functional fields in which a thicker web of Pacific-wide cooperation might turn out to be needed: (1) the management of Pacific marine resources, (2) the changing industrial geography of the Pacific Basin, (3) the prospects for food and development, and (4) the Pacific impact of the communications/information revolution.

It was cosponsored and hosted by the International House of Japan, and the program was organized by the author of this book.

The book itself grew directly out of the workshop. It is partly based on substantial contributions from several workshop participantspolitical scientist Roger Benjamin, adjunct member of the Humphrey Institute faculty and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota; Choung Il Chee, international fisheries expert from Korea; Edgar Gold, a Canadian expert on maritime transportation; Michael Hirschfeld, a businessman from New Zealand, who served as workshop rapporteur; Kent Keith, deputy director of the State of Hawaii's Department of Planning and Economic Development; Frances Lai, a political scientist at the National University of Singapore; Masataka Watanabe, National Institute for Environmental Studies in Tsukuba, Japan; and Peter Wilson, an adviser to the government of Papua New Guinea.
