Publication Date: 1988
In 1982 the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea was signed by a number of countries. For many smaller countries, such as the island states of the Caribbean, the significance of this major law reform movement became apparent in terms of expanded economic benefits, e.g., expanded fishery resources and offshore energy supplies. However, the responsibilities of expanded ocean jurisdiction also became apparent, as did the geopolitical controversies surrounding it. This new volume in the Lecture Notes on Coastal and Estuarine Studies presents the reader with the results and synthesis of a major study undertaken by the Ocean Studies Programme of Dalhousie University in the Eastern Caribbean on the New Law of the Sea with special attention to marine pollution, coastal zone management, international law, marine transportation, maritime boundary delineation and ocean development.

Publication Date:1999
This volume is the outcome of a three-year Sustainable Oceans Governance Programme which had as its main goals to increase regional understanding of international maritime and environmental responsibilities and challenges and to help bridge the gap between treaty ‘paper’ exercises and national adoption and implementation practices. Part One will feature the marine and environmental treaty guide for OECS Member States which reviews 16 major international maritime and environmental treaties and documents the status of acceptance among OECS Member States. Part Two takes focus on a case study review of four OECS countries to evaluate the status of acceptance and implementation of international maritime/environmental agreements in domestic law. Part Three is a workshop report on OECS/OIC Workshop on Strengthening Acceptance and Implementation of Maritime Treaties and International Environmental Law Obligations in the OECS Member States. The workshop was organized to discuss the findings of the first two initiatives, as well as to promote understanding of maritime treaties and environmental law obligations in the Member States of the OECS.

Publication Date: 2011
The chapters in this volume are based on papers given at a conference held in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, in June 2010, under the title of “Current Problematic Issues in the Law of the Sea”. Drawing on papers presented at the conference, this book provides a cohesive discussion on various challenges involved with the law of the sea. The book is divided into four parts, where international experts examined topics pertaining to: 1. the certain legal questions relating to straight baselines and ‘non-natural basepoints’ in the law of the sea; 2. problems of exercise of jurisdiction in international waters including human rights considerations and conflicting uses of the EEZ and residual high sea freedoms; 3. jurisdictional and definitional problems relating to the law of piracy
jure gentium in the 21st century; and outer limits of the continental shelf: recent practice and potential problems relating to submissions to the CLCS in instances where regional maritime/land boundary disputes exist or third state representations are made to the CLCS or where differences arise between the CLCS and a submitting state. At the appendices, the reader will notice a tabulation of continental shelf submissions, third-party reactions and their disposition by the CLCS, and statements of preliminary information.

The Legal Determination of International Maritime Boundaries
Gerard J. Tanja
Call Number: KC260.T36 1990
ISBN: 9065444785
Publication Date: 1990
The legal determination of international maritime boundaries for ‘resource-related’ zones has become one of the most controversial issues in the contemporary international law of the sea. As a result of the increasing practice among States to claim 200-mile zones, these delimitation processes have demonstrated that vital geo-political, economic and security aspects are involved. As these conflicting interests may have profound effects on the overall relations between States, the need for a satisfactory legal framework is obvious. in order to analyse the principles and rules which within this legal framework, the author examines relevant developments in state practices, case law and doctrine up to 1990. More than 150 delimitation agreements concerning the delimitation of the continental shelf, Exclusive Fishery Zone and Exclusive Economic Zone are discussed; case law has been meticulously examined. The comprehensive approach has resulted in a general textbook on maritime delimitation law which takes account of the most recent trends in actual practice and jurisprudence.

Call Number: KN97.74.A52 1997
ISBN: 9789041106629
Publication Date: 1997
The increasing threat of pollution of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico necessitates the adoption of coping measures in the wider Caribbean. In the context of examining the internal workings of UNEP's environmental programme in the region, the Law of Caribbean Marine Pollution provides a lucid account of measures adopted to date and those that remain urgently needed, with a view toward referencing the laws of all of the countries of the wider Caribbean. Written by a law lecturer at the University of the West Indies, this book clearly sets out the legal framework governing the measures needed to address the kinds of pollution problems that may threaten sustainable development in the Caribbean. It looks at prevention per se, responsibilities and rights during pollution emergencies, and law governing liability and compensation, all from a global, regional, and national perspective. It is therefore an unmatched resource for Caribbean policy makers, providers of institutional support, Caribbean environmental law students and practitioners, and all those interested in evaluating regional solutions to developmental problems.
