Overview
This compendium of documents brings together, for the first time in an affordable format, the essential documents needed to gain a thorough knowledge of the laws of the sea. There has been a long felt need for such a collection to provide students, scholars and practitioners with a working library of the key materials. This collection integrates documents of the International Maritime Organisation (which are not available anywhere on the web in consolidated form), of regional fisheries organizations, security related documents, treaties concerning resource exploitation, environmental protection measures and much more, into the framework created by the Law of the Sea Convention. The book is aimed at teachers and practitioners in the area and can be used as a class room companion for law of the sea courses.

Reviews
This is the first major source book in the English language devtoed to the internaional law of the sea. For that reason alone, it deserves special attention. [the] documents are ordered chronologically, with each document receiving a proper number ... and accompanied by a very detailed index, which opens up these documents to the user with unprecedented ease. an extremely useful tool for anybody involved in the teaching or in practice of the law of the sea and should be present in any law library Erik Franckx Journal of Energy and Natural Resources Volume 28, Number 3, 2010 One can cheerfully welcome the arrival of this volume as an overdue friend. It will be of use and interest not merely to students, scholars and practitioners of the law of the sea but to a wider audience of environmental and general public international lawyers. It is also suriprisingly up-to-date A comprehensive index of topics help in making the connection between treaties dealing with overlapping subject matters...This provides the kind of tool you didn't realise you were missing until it was handed to you. This is an excellent volume, deserving wide adoption both in teaching and as a scholar's or practitioner's desk-reference. Douglas Guilfoyle International and Comparative Law Quarterly Volume 59, 2010
