Maritime Environment -Legal and Policy Framework

The earth’s structure and surface are made of about thirty percent of land mass and seventy percent of water. While the world is preoccupied with how to solve the multifarious issues on the land surface, the marine environment is in a state of neglect as a result of ignorance, lack of information and shrewd politics and commerce.

Marine Management is the authors attempt to contribute to the legal policy and frameworks that will bring about the safety and sustainability of the ecosystem and marine environment through academic research and publications.
With eleven chapters in this work, the author made significant and valuable legal insights with topics like biodiversity conservation, sustainable fisheries management, the effects of climate change, and enforcement and compliance measures for the relevant global authority to act on.

The author’s simple style of writing and analysis makes the book readable, especially the legal policies and frameworks that do not require any professional interpretation.
With 235 pages, the book covers areas concerning principles of sovereignty, cooperation and integration, precautionary principles, polluter pays, public trust, intergenerational equity, and the principles of Environmental Impacts Assessment.
It is a book read for all that are concerned about the blue economy and sustainable development of the world in the near future.
