VanderZwaag, Oral, & Stephens: Research Handbook on Ocean Acidification Law and Policy

David L. VanderZwaag
(Dalhousie Univ. - Law), Nilüfer Oral (National Univ. of Singapore - Law), & Tim Stephens (Univ. of Sydney - Law) have published Research Handbook on Ocean Acidification Law and Policy (Edward Elgar Publishing 2021). Here's the abstract:
This important Research Handbook provides a guide to navigating the tangled array of laws and policies available to counter the multiple threats of ocean acidification. It investigates the limitations and opportunities for addressing ocean acidification under global governance frameworks, including multilateral environmental agreements, law of the sea and human rights instruments. The book also describes regional and national approaches and challenges in responding to ocean acidification. The special vulnerabilities of the Arctic, Antarctic and South Pacific are highlighted. Limited responses by regional sea programmes and regional fisheries management organizations are summarized. Case studies are provided from Australia, Brazil, China and the United States.
