Abstract
This paper discusses major problems existing in the current Ocean Governance regime of the United States, many of which are rooted in the regime's single‐purpose and fragmented nature. In the concept of the new 200‐mile U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), proclaimed in March 1983 by President Reagan, with its notion of sovereign rights over essentially all resources within a common zone, may lie the seeds of a more effective, second‐generation approach to Ocean Governance—one better suited to the increased ocean exploitation likely to occur in the coming decades.
