Overview

This analysis shows that post-growth thinking may disrupt shipping and marine biotechnology, suggesting new ocean governance frameworks.

Key Points

  • Economic growth drives practices harmful to human-Ocean relationships, emphasizing the need for post-growth scenarios.
  • The scenario consists of four narratives about shipping and marine biotechnology, exploring alternative futures for governance.
  • Employing SciFi prototyping, the analysis envisions a future Ocean treaty that can transform existing governance principles.
  • Engaging with these creative scenarios highlights the limitations of the dominant growth paradigm in shaping Ocean futures.
