From overfishing and whaling to pollution and pirates, a number of significant issues are impacting the oceans in the 21st century. The selections contained in this volume chart the most significant of these problems and describe the political structures in place to confront them. Of particular import is whether the tools at hand are equal to the task and what the cost of ineffective action might be-not only for the oceans, but also for humanity.
