Outline :- Compilation of papers written and presented by the author at various conferences between 1970 to 1995. Follows the recent development of exploitation of the oceans resources, mining and particularly fishing  that set out new frontiers for traditional land based politicians and community awareness. This sets of international organizations to also work on international treaties & laws for behavior and influence at sea.

A great compilation, and a rare book to preserve the context of the development of the Law of the Sea.
