. Deep-sea biodiversity and ecosystems - a scoping report on their socio-economy, management and governance. UNEP-WCMC Biodiversity Series 28. institutions that are embedded in governance institutions. Other authors see governance as providing the vision and direction for sustamability, while management is the operationalization of this vision (Boyle et at., 2001, quoted in Folke era/.. 2005). Today, we are confronted with an ever-rising env- ironmental crisis that spans across spatial and temporal scales to encompass local, regional and global, short- and long-term, reversible and irreversible destabilization of ecosystems and as a consequence affects the indispensable life-support functions they provide. Both natural and human systems are complex non-equilibrium and self-organizing systems that are in co-evolution (Kay 1999]. Traditional forms of environmental governance, based on sectoral app- roaches to problems, have shown their limits to address such complex systems and a shift towards ecosystem-based adaptive management and governance is taking place (for example, Dietz 2003; Folke 2005). The Handbook on Governance and Socioeconomics of Large Marine Ecosystems (Olsen ef at., 2006], which is aimed primarily at practitioners ("innovators in governance" as the authors call them], offers practical insights on how governance and socio-economic science can support the ecosystem appr- oach to marine resource management. Before turning to the specific challenges of deep- sea governance, we briefly review some important and necessary elements for integrated environmental gov- ernance and management.
