Examines the myriad of issues surrounding the exploitation and governance of marine and coastal resources. These include the traditional resources of fi sheries, marine fl ora, mariculture, oil and gas deposits, shallow-water and deep seabed minerals, transportation, and recreation. However, an investigation into the unique role that resources such as wetlands, coral reefs, estuaries, scientifi c research, and aesthetics play in managing the world's coasts and oceans will also be offered. Although it is important to quantify the amounts of resources present, and document their location and uses, it is imperative to also analyze each resource's jurisdictional or ownership status, applicable laws and regulations, economic and technological viability, and multiple-level (local, State, Federal, regional, and international) governance regime. This will, thus, include the study of the role of resource use confl ict in policy decision-making, domestic environmental legislation, and international agreements such as the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
