From Library Journal:
The author's many years of research, love, and respect for the sea and his keen desire to construct a more rational regime for ocean governance are apparent throughout this book. Wilder contributes to the fields of legal scholarship and political science by tracing the historical development of customary doctrines, landmark decisions, and major environmental legislation and treaties pertaining to oil and gas development, fisheries conservation, and jurisdiction over resources. Although portions of several chapters originally appeared in leading law reviews and yearbooks, the author creates a newly integrated and holistic approach for oceans governance by designing a "seastate" that features integrated coastal management with the sharing of power and decision-making between federal and state governments. Arguing strongly for the need to protect biodiversity in the marine environment as well as on land, he offers such solutions as pollution prevention, industrial networking, and the reduction of energy demands. Wilder concludes with recommendations and principles that will constitute a framework for a more refined kind of ocean governance. Recommended for academic libraries, law libraries, and environmental collections.?Margaret Ann Aycock, Gulf Coast Environmental Lib., Beaumont, TX

“This book’s vision of improving U.S. transportation policy through energy efficiency, and clean new alternatives like the fuel cell, is an exciting and fresh approach that merits serious attention. It clearly shows how improving environmental protection requires integrative thinking.”
