Abstract
The Ocean’s role as a global system is increasingly being recognized. “Modern” and “post-modern” views of ocean uses, as a source of resources and space for economic development is now supplemented by the functions that the ocean provides as human life and well-being support. “Ocean services” are a current focus of discussion for policymakers aiming to address sustainability principles and perspectives in a more effective way. International initiatives acknowledge the need to value the benefits provided by nature and include them in new economic models. This chapter summarizes and reviews these new approaches to ocean services, highlighting the main challenges related to its incorporation in ocean governance frameworks.

- 1.
VanLeeuwen and Van Tatenhove (2010) explore more about the dimensions of the new governance, Policy, Politics and Polity and its applicability to the marine environment.
- 2.
The application of concepts processes and tools of territorial planning and management to the marine environment have resulted in effective mechanisms for the management the sea, as example “The Irish Sea Pilot Project”.
- 3.
Inside the issue it is also important difference two complementary terms, governance and governability. Kooiman (2003) describes governability concerns the conditions of governance, understood as a status.
- 4.
In 1998 in the context of the Oceans International Year and the EXPO-98 – “Oceans: a Patrimony for the Future, in Lisbon, was create an Independent World Commission on the Oceans (IWCO). The IWCO meet different experts in the area of the ocean and policy.
- 5.
Some regional agreement, as example the OSPAR Conventions, among others, plays a fundamental role in policy development for the Atlantic.
- 6.
Later E. Mann-Borgese applied to the Ocean the Common heritage of humankind as governance philosophy.
