Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea lays down the rules and regulations governing claims to a continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles for the 130 coastal States and entities that have ratified or acceded to it. This book is designed to help those coastal States implement the provisions of Article 76, covering the technical issues involved and explaining the interface between the legal concepts contained within the article. It covers all aspects that will have to be considered by a coastal State if it wishes to make a claim under the Convention, including the characteristics of continental margins, distance determination, bathymetric data collection. geological and geophysical techniques, and boundary conditions.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reading,
By Francois Jackman (Durham, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Continental Shelf Limits: The Scientific and Legal Interface (Hardcover)
This tome is essential reading for anyone wishing to grasp some of the more difficult and technical provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. It genuinely does what it promises in its title, through a careful discussion of the legal and scientific aspects of the continental shelf as well as the relationship between the two.
