Routledge Marine Conservation and International Law - Legal Instruments for Biodiversity

This comprehensive book examines the development of an International Legally Binding Instrument for conserving and sustainably using marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction. It addresses critical gaps in the existing international law framework for BBNJ by analysing essential components needed for effective conservation, including marine genetic resources and area-based management tools. The work provides a blueprint for strengthening governance and institutional structures in the law of the sea, offering legal solutions to protect oceanic ecosystems beyond territorial waters. Published by Routledge as part of their Research in International Environmental Law series, this book is essential reading for policymakers, environmental lawyers, and professionals working in marine conservation and international regulatory frameworks.
