Summary

As world natural resources diminish and the necessity of protecting our environment becomes critical, the need for efficient marine management increases. However, marine boundaries are not easily defined and in disputed areas the prospect of sound management is bleak. The Barents Sea is prototypical of this problem. Although it is rich in living resources, the area remains underdeveloped and its eco-system is subject to a growing threat. The inefficient management of this sea is largely due to two legal disputes, both of which involve the former Soviet Union. Marine Management in Disputed Areasexamines the complex issues of managing the Barents Sea and offers a detailed analysis of two highly sensitive legal disputes.
