This book assesses the environmental
jurisdiction of coastal states over the seabed within and beyond 200 nautical
miles from the baselines, thus mapping out coastal states’ competencies to
regulate activities impacting the marine environment of the sea floor. In
addition, it offers revealing insights into the domestic legal and policy
framework of a particular State in this regard. As Brazil intends to exploit
mineral resources farther away offshore, technologically backed by the
recognised expertise of its state-owned oil company, Petrobras, questions arise
as to the adequacy of the country’s domestic legal framework to sustainably
manage the immenseness of the “Brazilian Blue Amazon”. This book critically
evaluates the compatibility of Brazil’s national policies and legislation with
the Law of the Sea, as well as the country’s legal and institutional
preparedness to face the challenges of managing approximately 4,5 million km²
of maritime spaces under national jurisdiction.
