Focusing on the ecosystems associated with deep-sea hydrothermal vents in areas beyond national jurisdiction this book examines a range of emerging activities in the deep sea including bioprospecting, marine scientific research, mining and tourism and considers the effectiveness of existing international law and governance mechanisms to sustainably manage these activities. It includes a detailed examination of the nature and extent of bioprospecting in the deep sea and its relationship with other activities such as marine scientific research. The book sets out in detail suggestions for how international law and policy regimes could respond to these challenges. As the first detailed study on this issue it will be useful reference for academics, diplomats, economists, scientists and policy makers alike. 410 0$aPublications on ocean development ;$vv. 56. 606 $aMarine sciences$xResearch$xLaw and legislation 606 $aOcean bottom$xLaw and legislation 606 $aHydrothermal vent ecology 606 $aGermplasm resources conservation$xLaw and legislation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMarine sciences$xResearch$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aOcean bottom$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aHydrothermal vent ecology. 615 0$aGermplasm resources conservation$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a341.762 700 $aLeary$b David Kenneth$0879426 712 02$aJoint International Law Program. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454202003321 996 $aInternational law and the genetic resources of the deep sea$92226134 997 $aUNINA
