Gaps, Issues And Prospects: International Law And The Protection Of Underwater Cultural Heritage, Lowell Bautista
Lowell Bautista
The protection and preservation of underwater cultural heritage is becoming an increasingly important issue as technologies develop which allow for its exploitation.

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi
Although fossil fuels are the overwhelming source of energy for the world, and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future, demographic, environmental, political, and economic factors indicate that interest in alternative, renewable sources of energy will grow. There is a need for both global and national policies on ocean energy management.
