The integration of diverse knowledges is considered essential in ocean governance to understand and address the complex and transboundary changes affecting oceans and societies. In this line, also the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Development (2021–2030) calls for “the science we need for the ocean we want” (UNESCO, n.d.) and the 5th International Polar Year (2032–2033) evolves around “the urgent need for coordinated international research to tackle the biggest challenges of polar research, for both the Polar Regions themselves and for the world as a whole” (International Polar Year, n.d.). This thematic issue derives from the notion that the coordination and integration of diverse knowledges to develop advanced understandings is a political process shaped by, amongst other things, societal inequalities and different forms of governance. To assess the implication of this notion for the governance of the oceans—the “common heritage of humankind” (United Nations Law of the Sea)—this thematic issue explores knowledge integration processes in ocean governance. It sheds light on different governance formats, the role of participatory and co‐creative approaches to knowledge integration, their potentials, limitations, and related micropolitics.
