The Law of the Seabed reviews the most pressing legal questions
raised by the use and protection of natural resources on and underneath the
world’s seabeds.
While barely accessible, the seabed plays a major
role in the Earth’s ecological balance. It is both a medium and a resource, and
is central to the blue economy. New uses and new knowledge about seabed
ecosystems, and the risks of disputes due to competing interests, urge
reflection on which regulatory approaches to pursue.
The regulation of ocean activities is essentially
sector-based, and the book puts in parallel the international and national
regimes for seabed mining, oil and gas, energy generation, bottom fisheries,
marine genetic resources, carbon sequestration and maritime security
operations, both within and beyond the national jurisdiction.
The book contains seven parts respectively
addressing the definition of the seabed from a multidisciplinary perspective,
the principles of jurisdiction delimitation under the United Nations Convention
on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the regimes for use of non-living, living and
marine biodiversity resources, the role of state and non-state actors, the
laying and removal of installations, the principles for sustainable and
equitable use (common heritage of mankind, precaution, benefit sharing), and
management tools to ensure coexistence between activities as well as the
protection of the marine environment.
