Overview

Qualitative analysis uncovers how COVID-19 reshapes political fantasies in ocean governance, suggesting transformative futures.

Key Points

  • The study reveals competing visions of future oceans shaped by political fantasies, impacting governance.
  • Three dominant fantasies were identified: the ocean as saviour, the known ocean, and re-connecting with the ocean.
  • Drawing on Critical Fantasy Studies, the research highlights how these imaginaries affect policy action and trajectory.
  • By linking emotional investments to governance frameworks, the research opens pathways for transformative approaches.
