Abstract

The paper analyzed the logical and empirical grounds for integrated ocean administrative system and conducted comparative analysis of the ocean administrative systems of a few major foreign countries. Also the paper suggested the alternative systems of integrated ocean administration, based on the analyses. The analyses indicated that integrated coastal and ocean management, synergy effects of integration, and people's support could be the grounds for the integrated ocean administrative system. They also indicated that nowadays, major foreign ocean countries are oriented to integrated ocean administrative systems. The paper suggested the following three alternatives of integrated ocean administrative system: i) the creation of a new ministry, ii) the creation of an interministerial and intergovernmental coordinating committee, iii) the naming of a lead ministry.
