“…In sharp contrast to these scientific studies, analysis of the socioeconomic characteristics of large ocean regions has received relatively little attention to date. 1 Although a general framework for monitoring and assessing the socioeconomic aspects of LMEs has been developed (viz., Olsen et al 2006;Wang 2004;Sutinen 2000), few detailed studies grounded in empirical data have been undertaken. Characterizing the socioeconomic features of ocean regions is critical to developing an understanding of the extent to which nations have the financial resources to undertake programs of sustainable development.…”

We develop an index that is a measure of the intensity of marine activities in large marine ecosystems (LMEs). We compare this marine activity index with an index of socioeconomic development across ocean regions. This comparison identifies regions that may be capable of achieving the sustainable development of their regional marine environment on their own and those that are less likely to do so. The latter may be candidates for international financial or management assistance. An important next step is to carry out detailed case studies designed to improve our understanding of any specific ocean region.
