The objective of this comprehensive book is to provide a thorough examination of the legal foundations, both international and regional, for the establishment and further development of area-based conservation tools in the Mediterranean Sea, with a special focus on the transboundary area-based conservation instruments available for the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. Specifically, the aim is to identify and analyze the concepts and functioning of marine protected areas (MPAs), as traditional area-based tools enabling marine habitat and species conservation, and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs), as a more recent addition to the conservation landscape. Furthermore, in order to address the complex set of challenges posed by the diverse range of tools and levels of intervention, conclusions and ways forward are provided that identify practical implementation instruments through which a truly transboundary perspective can guide the development of protected marine spaces in the macro-region.
An essential consideration in defining the ways forward lies in the current trend towards the establishment of exclusive economic zones. This trend could soon become an incentive for the adoption of a coherent and coordinated Mediterranean and Adriatic and Ionian network of transboundary area-based conservation tools.
The book will appeal to policy makers, practitioners, and academics with an interest in public international law, the law of the sea, and sustainable ocean governance.
