The regional approach to the management of such forms of ocean use as fishing, scientific research and environmental control is gradually gaining acceptance, and it would seem essential for the United States continuously to assess this marine regionalist trend. Changes are likely to occur as a result of the virtually universal adoption by coastal states within the next few years of an exclusive economic zone extending up to 200 nautical miles from shore. One result may be the emergence of various types of restrictive regional regimes, covering the combined economic zones of neighboring states. Within such regimes, the fishing, scientific, military and other vessels of non-littoral countries may be excluded, or have their traditional activities severely curtailed. This condition may be particularly prevalent in the case of semi-enclosed seas and other narrow water bodies which are enclosed by the exclusive economic zones of their coastal states.

Numerous incidents suggest that man-made sound injures and can kill marine mammals. This book offers an objective look at how ocean noise should be addressed given the lack of regulatory structure and the scientific uncertainty over the effects of noise on marine life. It is an essential text for policymakers, governments and NGOs, biologists, environmental activists, , oceanographers, and those in the shipping, engineering, and offshore oil and gas industries.

This book places contemporary problems of ocean use management in historical context beginning with the time of Hugo Grotius, whose seminal 1609 work The Freedom of the Seas was the basis of ocean law for the next three centuries. Individual use problems are dealt with in detail and include overfishing, migrating fish stocks and fish wars, oil drilling, deep sea mining and marine pollution. Throughout the author notes the need to seek solutions in ocean management from a more integrated perspective. Emphasis is placed on the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea and the resulting agreements. This book therefore presents a unique breadth of view which will make it salient to policy makers, diplomats, scholars and ocean users.
