This human order encompasses the individual, the village, the nation, the region, and the global community. Just such an order is now emerging in the context of ocean governance, generated by the United Nations' 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea and the subsequent conventions, agreements and programmes following the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. ... Such an order is needed to solve the most urgent problems of over-fishing and stock depletion; pollution from oceanic, atmospheric and land-based sources; climate and sea-level changes; and biodiversity conservation."--Publisher's description 606 $aOcean$xSocial aspects 615 0$aOcean$xSocial aspects. 676 $a333.91/64 700 $aBorgese$b Elisabeth Mann$0855910 801 2$bAzTeS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790458103321 996 $aThe oceanic circle$93762223 997 $aUNINA
