The Journal of Ocean Governance in Africa is a blind peer-reviewed Journal of note, under the editorship of the South African Research Chair in the Law of the Sea and Development in Africa. 

In 2020, it was decided to rename the publication the Journal of Ocean Governance in Africa in order to remove any suggestion that the Journal might focus primarily on ocean law by removing the word ‘law’ from the previous title of the Journal (The Journal of Ocean Law and Governance in Africa). The disciplinary and geographical width of the editorial team has also been broadened. The vision of the journal is to encourage and support the fast-growing pool of emerging African ocean-governance scholars in publishing excellent research outputs on a scientific and policy platform with which they are as comfortable as possible.
