The diverse set of actors and sectors, including for commercial fisheries, aquaculture, renewable energy, tourism, and shipping transport, recreation, among others, often compete for resources and space. Sectoral policies, such as fisheries, agricultural, forestry or infrastructure-related policies, that most commonly lie outside the remit of environment ministries, also impact marine biodiversity (Schroter-Schlaack and Ring, 2011), although often in a negative way (OECD, 2015a, 1999).
