Abstract(s)

This chapter seeks to provide an overview of the legal framework surrounding the protection of UCH as a part of the Marine Environment within the context of Law of the Sea, focusing particularly on the rules regarding deep sea mining. The text seeks to analyse how such an activity may be considered compatible, or not with the protection of the marine environment and in particular how underwater cultural heritage may be addressed within such a context.
