Associate Professor Cameron Moore talks LAW318 Law of the Sea. Have you wondered what the conflict in the South China Sea is all about? Are you concerned about how small island countries will manage sea level rise? How should we mange fisheries so that the stocks do not deplete? Do you know why the Prime Minister said it is lawful for Chinese warships to watch military exercises off the Chinese coast? Do you understand how global shipping works and how we prevent pollution at sea? Is the maritime boundary with Timor L’este fair?

If you are interested in answering any of these questions then LAW318 Law of the Sea could be for you. It is the oldest branch of international law and still one of the most topical. It looks at strategy, trade, security, the environment, fishing, oil and gas and the interests of indigenous peoples. Whether you like the big picture of how the world works or care about how coastal communities can live sustainably, Law of the Sea has it all.
