Dear colleagues,
I hope that you will forgive me for plugging a forthcoming international conference for which I am a co-organiser. This is the Advisory Board on the Law of the Sea (ABLOS) conference on:
UNCLOS: Advances in Managing the Blue World
I would like to invite papers for presentation at the conference which will take place in Monaco from 20-22 October 2015.
Indicative themes for conference papers include:
Advances in marine spatial planning, management and administration
Integration of maritime limits and boundaries in digital systems
Enhanced vessel monitoring systems and vessel traffic schemes
Defining and regulating the outer continental shelf
Realising blue carbon futures
Protecting marine resources and preserving maritime environment
Developments in the establishment of marine protected areas
Impacts of climate change on the oceans
Trends in maritime delimitation and dispute resolution
While paper proposals are by no means limited to the themes above I would imagine that those related to maritime limits and boundaries as well as Article 76 issues will be of interest to a number of list members.
Please see the conference website for details at:
http://www.ablosconference.com/
Keynote speakers are now confirmed as Nick Lambert (former UK National Hydrographer) and Professor David Freestone (George Washington University and Executive Secretary of the Sargasso Sea Commission).
Please note that ‘early bird’ registrations close in just under two weeks on 15 July.
I hope to see you in Monaco come October!
Best regards,
Clive
