Saving Salvage: Avoiding Misguided Changes To Salvage And Finds Law, Christopher Z. Bordelon Nov 2005

Saving Salvage: Avoiding Misguided Changes To Salvage And Finds Law, Christopher Z. Bordelon

San Diego International Law Journal

In recent years, as technology permitting previously impossible underwater salvage operations has become available, ancient principles of the laws of salvage and of finds as applied to sunken ships have come under attack. Those who would limit or preclude the application of salvage and finds principles and the conduct of salvage operations in the context of shipwrecks have advocated changes in both the common law of admiralty and in related statutory law. They have also supported an international convention on the subject. Academic commentary favoring heightened preservation praises these developments and promotes further initiatives to protect the "underwater cultural heritage" …

This Comment will also examine the sand trade issue for lessons applicable to cross border trade and suggest a certification mechanism that would allow continued sand exports while preserving environmental safeguards.


State Responsibility And The High Seas Marine Environment: A Legal Theory For The Protection Of Seamounts In The Global Commons, Gregory D. Pendleton Apr 2005

State Responsibility And The High Seas Marine Environment: A Legal Theory For The Protection Of Seamounts In The Global Commons, Gregory D. Pendleton

Washington International Law Journal

At its latest session, the United Nations General Assembly urged States to consider a temporary ban on bottom trawling on the high seas. Bottom trawling technology causes extensive damage both to the habitat of deep sea living marine resources ("LMRs") and to the LMRs themselves. This damage is particularly acute at heavily fished undersea mountains known as seamounts. The pronouncement by the General Assembly, while certainly a positive step, is another unfortunate example of short-sighted fisheries management: instead of creating a legitimate protection regime—such as a moratorium or a system of High Seas Marine Protected Areas ("HSMPA")—for these rare and …
