Overview

Global findings estimate that 80 per cent of marine pollution originates from land-based sources and is trans-boundary in nature. These problems persist in spite of a number of legal and policy initiatives taken to protect the marine environment. This volume explores the applications and shortcomings of current international regimes in addressing these issues. The book identifies the sources and effects of land-based marine pollution and analyzes the problems of controlling them. Management principles, policy and regulation are examined at both regional and international level. The author discusses the strengths and weaknesses of existing regimes and advances a more effective international legal framework. The text provides a valuable insight into an important area of international environmental law. It will be of interest to researchers and policy-makers working in this area.

'Dr Daud Hassan's book is an excellent contribution to a topic that is an emerging issue of international concern since the 1990s. I found that the book provides the reader with valuable and up-to date information towards an effective cooperative arrangement for LBSMP control. I am sure the book will be of value to academics, students, national and international legal practitioners, and national, regional and international organizations relating to marine environmental protection.'
