Praise for the previous edition: “A complete overview of the
subject which does not intimidate the reader but rather spurns
interest and understanding in the subject.” European Energy and
Environmental Law Review “…(the book is) scholarly yet
accessible and very readable; thoroughly recommended.” Law
Institute Journal Description The law of the sea provides for the
regulation, management and governance of the ocean spaces that
cover over two-thirds of the Earth’s surface. This book provides
a comprehensive assessment of the foundational principles of the
law of the sea, a critical overview of the 1982 United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea and an analysis of subsequent
developments including many bilateral, regional, and global
agreements that supplement the Convention. The third edition of
this acclaimed text has been thoroughly revised and updated, and
now incorporates a dedicated chapter on natural and artificial
islands. All of the main areas of the law of the sea are addressed
including the foundations and sources of the law, the nature and
extent of the maritime zones, the delimitation of overlapping
maritime boundaries, the place of archipelagic and other special
states in the law of the sea, navigational rights and freedoms,
military activities at sea, marine scientific research, and marine
resource and conservation issues such as fisheries, marine
environmental protection and dispute settlement. The book also
takes stock of contemporary oceans governance issues not adequately
addressed by the Convention. Overarching challenges facing the law
of the sea are considered, including how new maritime security
initiatives can be reconciled with traditional navigational rights
and freedoms, the need for stronger legal and policy responses to
protect the global ocean environment from climate change and ocean
acidification, and work on a new agreement for the conservation and
sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond
national jurisdiction.
