A great pleasure and honour to speak at the launch of @camillejgoodman's wonderful new book on the law of the sea at the ANU College of Law last week. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/coastal-state-jurisdiction-over-living-resources-in-the-exclusive-economic-zone-9780192896841?cc=au&lang=en&
Coastal State Jurisdiction over Living Resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone
Under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, coastal States have sovereign rights to explore, exploit, conserve, and manage the living resources of the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ). However, 40 years after the adoption of the Convention, there is still a great deal of uncertainty about the nature and extent of these sovereign rights.
