Article
Full-text available
The objective of this perspective article is to determine the extent to which processes operating across the air–sea interface are considered in international environmental policy. The ocean is usually important but rarely a defining feature in such policies. We will begin with a brief introduction to the existing relevant treaties and policy frame...
Chapter
This chapter discusses themes of regime interaction by reference to the interaction between the law of the sea, on the one hand, and the human right to food, on the other. The prevailing narrative is that while these two fields of law largely operate independently of one another, there would be value in greater interaction between them. We trace th...
Chapter
This chapter provides a foundation for most subsequent chapters with a detailed description of the law of the sea. It argues that marine governance is very largely premised on the law of the sea, which evolved through centuries to become customary international law. The importance of clarifying the law of the sea and adapting it to modern needs res...
Article
Full-text available
The deep sea (below 200 m depth) is the largest carbon sink on Earth. It hosts abundant biodiversity that underpins the carbon cycle and provides provisioning, supporting, regulating and cultural ecosystem services. There is growing attention to climate-regulating ocean ecosystem services from the scientific, business and political sectors. In this...
Chapter
Uncertainties concerning deep-seabed mining relate to the expected impacts on the abyssal benthic and pelagic environment and its ecosystems but also include geopolitical, economic, societal and cultural uncertainty. The uncertain impacts from mining lead to anxiety and a low societal acceptance for the activity and are not the same for everybody a...
Article
Full-text available
The EU funded project EuroSea brought together key actors of the European ocean observing and forecasting communities with key users of the ocean observing products and services in order to better integrate existing ocean observation systems and tools, and to improve the delivery of ocean information to users. EuroSea was constructed around the oce...
Article
Full-text available
In this Policy Bridge, we present the key issues regarding the safety, efficacy, funding, and governance of coastal and marine systems in support of climate change mitigation. Novel insights into the likely potential of these systems for use in mitigating excess carbon dioxide emissions are presented. There may be potential for coastal blue carbon...
Book
Many fisheries management systems have individual rights at their basis but are not always successful. The question is what would have to change in fisheries law when community rights form the basis of management. Applying this idea globally, the principle of the common heritage of humankind could provide a future foundation. The principle incorpor...
Article
Full-text available
Understanding the physical and biogeochemical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere is a vital component of environmental and Earth system research. The ability to predict and respond to future environmental change relies on a detailed understanding of these processes. The Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) is an int...
Article
Full-text available
Protecting the ocean has become a major goal of international policy as human activities increasingly endanger the integrity of the ocean ecosystem, often summarized as “ocean health.” By and large, efforts to protect the ocean have failed because, among other things, (1) the underlying socio-ecological pathways have not been properly considered, a...
Chapter
Any form of marine planning implies an exercise of state power and thus requires a legal framework. We explore the opportunities within, and limitations of, existing legal provisions for marine planning and discuss the importance of legally binding marine planning tools. We examine the law of the sea, as codified in the 1982 United Nations Conventi...
Article
A.L. Jaeckel , The International Seabed Authority and the Precautionary Principle Balancing Deep Seabed Mineral Mining and Marine Environmental Protection, Boston, Brill Nijhoff, 2017, 362 pp., ISBN 9789004332270 - Erik van Doorn
Article
The paper will set out to define the concept of due diligence in international law in general and in the law of the sea in particular. It will take stock of environmental concepts and principles that may be framed as due diligence obligations in the context of the law of the sea, e.g. the precautionary principle. Moreover, it will analyze the poten...
Chapter
Wie kaum eine andere Bereichsethik befasst sich die Umweltethik einerseits mit Grundfragen der Philosophie (Naturphilosophie, Anthropologie, politische Philosophie) und berührt andererseits verschiedene Politikfelder (Klimapolitik, Naturschutz, Land- und Forstwirtschaft etc.). Das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Grundlagenreflexion und Politiknähe wir...
Article
This paper analyses to what extent the Mining Code lives up to the environmental standards as originally meant to be applicable to the deep seabed. The focus will be on the ethical background of the common heritage and its reflection in the current application of the principle on deep seabed mining. The evolving legal status of the common heritage...
Book
Full-text available
The fourth edition of the World Ocean Review (WOR) focuses on sustainability and explores how that concept can guide the management of our marine environment. WOR 4 explains the key ecosystem services supplied by our seas and identifies the main threats to them. It offers an overview of current marine policy at regional and transnational level and...
Article
Full-text available
The ocean regulates the global climate, provides humans with natural resources such as food, materials, important substances, and energy, and is essential for international trade and recreational and cultural activities. Together with human development and economic growth, free access to, and availability of, ocean resources and services have exert...
