“…Notwithstanding the compromise reached at UNCLOS III, it seems unlikely that this latest iteration of the industrial capitalist dual-zone regulatory regime will be more durable than any of its predecessors. Even before ratification of the 1982 Law of the Sea was complete, the United Nations was convening a Conference on the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks, where some states were proposing the establishment of a framework for managing select areas of the sea outside EEZs in order to prevent dcepwater fishing states from taking more than their 'fair share' of fish species that migrated among EEZs or between an EEZ and the high seas (Armas Pfirter, 1995;Orrcgo Vicuna, 1993). In response to such conflicts, ocean-policy professionals have promoted a number of further modifications of the existing regime.…”

Three images of ocean space are becoming increasingly prevalent in policy and planning circles and popular culture: The image of the ocean as an empty void to be annihilated by hypermobile capital; as a resource-rich but fragile space requiring rational management for sustainable development; and as a source of consumable spectacles. In this paper I locate the emergence of these three apparently contradictory images of the ocean within structural contradictions in the spatiality of capitalism, which, in turn, are precipitating a crisis in marine regulation. To analyze these contradictions, I begin with a historical study of industrial-era marine uses, regulations, and representations. This is followed by an analysis of the present crisis and its associated representational discourses. I conclude with a call for analyses of ocean space that probe beneath marine imagery so as to explore the regulatory crises and social conflicts that underlie marine-policy debates and that reveal the ocean's potential as a site of social transformation.
