Routledge Handbook of Maritime Regulation and Enforcement

This handbook examines the current regulatory and enforcement instruments and mechanisms for different sectors of maritime activity in the various zones of maritime jurisdiction. The specially commissioned chapters are authored by some of the world's foremost authorities on maritime law and offer unique perspectives on maritime regulation and enforcement. The handbook addresses the powers of coastal States and the rights and freedoms of user States in different zones of ocean space. It also considers regulation and enforcement in the wider context of international law and policy, and goes on to identify gaps and future challenges in regulation and enforcement at sea.

With advances in technology and maritime transport, human use of the ocean now extends beyond the traditional activities of navigation and fishing. Emerging activities such as bioprospecting, deep seabed mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation, offshore renewable energy developments and marine scientific probes of deep sea areas challenge the applicability of maritime law and policy in new ways.

This handbook examines current regulatory and enforcement instruments and mechanisms for different sectors of maritime activity. Covering various jurisdictions, its specially commissioned chapters are authored by some of the world's foremost authorities on maritime law, and offer unique perspectives on maritime law, policy and practice.

This highly relevant collection is organised into four parts:

• International Law Considerations in Maritime Regulation and Enforcement

• Role of States and other International Actors in Maritime Regulation and Enforcement

• Regulation and Enforcement in Different Maritime Sectors

• Current Issues and Future Challenges

This comprehensive reference work will be of interest to scholars and students of maritime law, practitioners and non-lawyers interested in the regulation of offshore areas, as well as policy-makers.
