Fig. 7.1 Schematic of linkages between (vertical) and within (horizontal) levels of governance
needed for effective governance. The conceptual Regional Ocean Governance Framework (ROGF)
is based on two fundamental parts of the governance system: (i) complete policy processes that are
linked vertically (nationally and regionally) and horizontally (aquifers, lakes, oceans and fresh
water systems; sectors such as fisheries and tourism) as shown in Fig. 7.1, and (ii) the policy cycle
(see Fig. 7.2) (Fanning et al. 2007)

The concept underpinning the
policy cycle is to achieve
effective governance, there
must be a complete policy
process. This includes the
