Ocean and coastal law has grown rapidly in the past three decades as a specialty area within natural resources law and environmental law. The protection of oceans has received increased attention in the past decade because of sea-level rise, ocean acidification, the global overfishing crisis, widespread depletion of marine biodiversity such as marine mammals and coral reefs, and marine pollution. Paralleling the growth of ocean and coastal law, climate change regulation has emerged as a focus of international environmental diplomacy, and has gained increased attention in the wake of disturbing and abrupt climate change related impacts throughout the world that have profound implications for ocean and coastal regulation and marine resources.

Climate Change Impacts on Ocean and Coastal Law effectively unites these two worlds. It raises important questions about whether and how ocean and coastal law will respond to the regulatory challenges that climate change presents to resources in the oceans and coasts of the U.S. and the world. This comprehensive work assembles the insights of global experts from academia and major NGOs (e.g., Center for International Environmental Law, Ocean Conservancy, and Environmental Law Institute) to address regulatory challenges from the perspectives of U.S. law, foreign domestic law, and international law.

Industry Reviews

"The collection draws a useful distinction between climate change and oceans and climate change and coasts. This is one of the first collection of papers to bring together the lawyer/science interface respecting global climate change and the oceans/coasts across a broad-range of topics and regions and as such is an important book for law of the sea specialists." -Ocean Development and International Law "The work collected in Climate Change Impacts on Ocean and Coastal Law argues that we need a change of course, that by seizing opportunities to make new law we can begin to address issues climate science tells us are compelling, such as fish stock migration, the differential degradation of coasts and beaches, and the difficulties of exercising social control at sea." -Geoffrey Wandesforde-Smith, Journal of International Wildlife Law and Policy
