Ocean Law
From local zoning ordinances to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the legal aspects of marine governance are many layered and complex. Members of this cluster study these issues at different levels of analysis, but always touching in some way on marine systems. Cross-cutting clusters include Climate Change, Coastal Communities, Conflict and Diplomacy, and many others. There are also connections to the ESG-wide Earth Systems Law taskforce.
If you’d like to join the cluster, please click here to become a member. This will allow you to post information on the page and give you the opportunity to receive information and updates via the Oceans Taskforce listserve.
While we do not have funding ourselves, we do hope to foster joint projects via Working Groups, which would bring together cluster members to write grant proposals, put together collected volumes/special issues, or develop webinars, workshops, syllabi, or similar products. All projects should focus on the cluster topic and fit within the ESG Science Plan (http://www.earthsystemgovernance.org/research-agenda/). Working group members should come from more than one institution and should have sufficient expertise to accomplish project goals. Forming a working group can help you to expand your professional network. It will also provide mentoring from the cluster leaders and access to logistical support like web-conferencing from ESG headquarters. To submit a Working Group proposal, please fill out this form and send it to the cluster leader(s) listed below. If you’d like to propose a Working Group that fits in more than one cluster, please send it to the leaders of each cluster in a single e-mail. Scroll down for descriptions of active Working Groups.
