Politics is about power, decision making, and how societies organise themselves. The Ocean is deeply political because governments, international organisations, corporations, and citizens all compete over how Ocean spaces and resources are used. The Ocean influences global trade, climate systems, food security, migration, and economic development. Political decisions affect whether marine ecosystems are protected or damaged.
