Over the last decades, shipping, fisheries and other uses of the oceans
have considerably increased. However, adverse impacts caused by man have
also been threatening the marine environment and the living resources of
the sea. Hence the various international maritime organisations involved
in managing the oceans are facing new challenges which in particular may
be met by the concept of sustainability. How they cope with the present
and future needs is shown in this book compiling information about some of
the most relevant organisations in light of a sustainable marine
development.
