Edited by Rosemary Rayfuse, Emerita Scientia Professor, Faculty of Law and Justice, UNSW Sydney, Australia
'For diplomats, practitioners, and scholars concerned with the
myriad threats facing our oceans, the Elgar Research Handbook on
International Marine Environmental Law is a must. It contains
enlightening analysis of the complex ocean governance problems that
imperil the marine environment and continue to evade solution. More
importantly, it advances realistic ideas to move the environmental
protection of our oceans forward. All of this from some of the
sharpest thinkers on these issues today.'
*Donald K. Anton, Griffith University, Australia*
'Written by eminent scholars and practitioners, this Handbook is an
accessible treasure trove for diplomats as well as advocates,
advanced scholars and law students, indeed anyone interested in the
future of our oceans. I predict it will become an essential
guidebook for all those involved in international ocean
negotiations.'
*Kristina Gjerde, High Seas Policy Advisor, IUCN*
