Piracy, international disputes over undersea oil and gas, and chronic
overfishing have left our oceans in turmoil. How can we resolve these
issues?
International law states that a coastal country has territorial rights
for 12 miles into the sea, yet, in practice many countries have
virtually no control over their own waters. Denise Russell provides a
thorough examination of the politics of the sea, from environmental
issues, to water economics and governance of the waters. She reveals
how we need to radically rethink ocean governance, calling for the
establishment of an international agency powerful enough to settle
disputes at sea, or else risk ever-accelerating climate change and the
continued overuse of the sea's resources.
