The English Channel is one of the world's busiest sea areas with intense shipping and port activity juxtaposed with recreation, communications and important conservation areas. Opportunities for marine renewable energy vie with existing activities for space. The current governance of the English Channel is reviewed and found to lack integration between countries, sectors, legislation and scientific research. Recent developments within the EU's marine management frameworks are significantly altering our approach to marine governance and this paper explores the implications of these new approaches to management of the English Channel. Existing mechanisms for cross-Channel science and potential benefits of an English Channel scale perspective are considered. In conclusion, current management practices are considered against the 12 Malawi Principles of the ecosystem approach resulting in proposals for enhancing governance of the region through science at the scale of the English Channel.
英吉利海峡是世界上最繁忙的海域之一，航运和港口活动密集，同时还有娱乐、通信和重要的保护区。海洋可再生能源的发展机会与现有的空间利用活动相竞争。本文回顾了英吉利海峡的现行治理情况，发现各国之间、各部门之间、立法和科学研究之间缺乏整合。欧盟海洋管理框架内的最新发展正在显著改变我们对海洋治理的方法，本文探讨了这些新的管理方法对英吉利海峡管理的影响。本文考虑了海峡两岸科学的现有机制以及英吉利海峡规模视角的潜在好处。最后，根据生态系统方法的 12 项马拉维原则来审议当前的管理做法，提出通过英吉利海峡规模的科学来加强该地区的治理。
