Pollution of the sea - prevention and compensation

Meer over het boek

In May 2005, the International Max Planck Research School for Maritime Affairs hosted a conference on marine pollution at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. This event brought together academics and practitioners to discuss recent developments from an interdisciplinary viewpoint. The collected papers explore ecological aspects, international efforts to prevent and combat marine pollution through various institutions and regulations, and the compensation for losses incurred despite these efforts. This volume encapsulates the diversity of topics addressed during the conference, reflecting the ongoing research and policy discussions within the International Max Planck Research School for Maritime Affairs. The editors express gratitude for the support and assistance received, particularly from Dr. Silke Knaut and Dr. Anatol Dutta for their editorial contributions, Anna-Maria Hubert for her linguistic revisions, and Ingeborg Stahl for preparing the manuscript.
