Abstract
Ocean and coast are considered like the very place of exacerbating global
changes and their consequences including climate change, bio-invasion,
wastes, pollutions, piracy, migrations, etc. Responses are applied at the
local level but should be thought from a global perspective, requiring a
shared governance underpinned by effi cient coordination between state,
interstate and supra-state actors as well as cooperation with non-instituted
actors. The awareness of global issues and related role of coasts and seas
is still recent and rather blur. It takes shape through mobilising the law,
science and technology in order to feed new forms of governance in a fl uid
and much uncertain world. Such is the challenge of the recently instituted
maritime strategies or ocean policy in both France and Japan, taking place
in very different context but also showing convergences that could lead to
fruitful collaboration between the two countries and the regions they
belong to.
