Baselines under the International Law of the Sea brings together two reports produced by the International Law Association (ILA) Committee on Baselines under the International Law of the Sea between 2008 – 2018. The Sofia Report (2012) is organized around the interpretation of Article 5 of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) concerning the normal baseline. The Sydney Report (2018) is organized around a common methodology in assessing Articles 7, 8, 10, 13, 14 and 47 of the LOSC concerning straight baselines, closing lines, and straight archipelagic baselines.
A generation of legal pioneers imagined a decisive role for the law of the sea in the advancement of developing states. The jewel in the crown of that vision was the juridical recognition of significant wealth of the oceans as the common heritage of mankind. The Law of the Sea in the Caribbean gives an accounting of the reach of the law of the sea into Caribbean development. It argues for greater regional cooperation as a means of achieving the promise of the contribution of the sea towards the economic and social progression of Caribbean States.

Maritime Security and the Law of the Sea examines the rights and duties of states across a broad spectrum of maritime security threats. It provides comprehensive coverage of the different dimensions of maritime security in order to assess how responses to maritime security concerns are, and should be, shaping the law of the sea.

The Handbook covers legal, technical and practical information deemed essential in negotiating maritime boundary delimitation between coastal states.It also contains information about the peaceful settlement of disputes where negotiations are unsuccessful and the states wish to avail themselves of the dispute settlement mechanism set out in the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea
This work analyzes the management of shared fish stocks; protection of the underwater cultural heritage; the possibilities of establishing marine protected areas and other means for safeguarding vulnerable marine ecosystems; the use of the high seas for intelligence as well as recent developments on interdiction of vessels on the high seas. Special emphasis is paid to the role of international courts and tribunals in the progressive development of the law of the sea as well as the ability of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea to accommodate new uses and challenges, such as new concerns, new technological possibilities, in particular, new contexts and functions of established rules. The 1982 Convention seems capable of coping with most of them, although it remains useful to explore its possibilities and limits. This work, covering many aspects, will be useful to anyone interested in the law of the sea.

The fresh water supplies of the Earth are finite and as the world's population continues to grow humanity's thirst for this water seems unquenchable.

In a single volume, The Encyclopedia of Hydrology and Water Resources provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and understanding of the diverse field of hydr...
