Non-transitory uses include:
• Commercial fishing (traps/pots, weirs)
• Navigation channels
• Deepwater ports
• Wind farms
• Aquaculture sites
• Ocean dumping sites
• Shipwrecks
• Pipelines
• Marine protected areas
• Aesthetic viewsheds
The characteristics of a given area of ocean space make it more or less valuable
to different uses. For example, the characteristics that determine the value of an area
of ocean for marine aquaculture include distance from shore facilities (ports),
nutrient fluxes, plankton densities, water temperature ranges, wind and wave conditions, current flows and flushing rates, prevalence of predators and parasites,
marine contaminants, etc.
Because ocean space is of varying quality in this sense, it will produce a gradient
of (potential) resource rents from alternative uses. At the same time, those uses may
result in external effects if resources are degraded due to pollution, for example, or
if opportunity costs arise due to forgone other uses of the space.
Historically, ocean space has not been allocated through private markets, but has
instead been assigned to competing uses by pre-existing policies, implied legal
