The Maritime Governance and Sustainable Development Research Group is committed to enhancing the governance structures that support the resilience and sustainability of maritime communities. Our research delves into institutional frameworks, policy mechanisms, and community-driven initiatives to strengthen the governance of coastal and maritime regions. By addressing key challenges such as resource management, environmental protection, and socio-economic development, we aim to empower maritime communities through evidence-based policies and governance models. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, we seek to create sustainable governance strategies that ensure the long-term viability of maritime livelihoods, ecosystems, and industries.
