  • Chapter 8. Aesthetic, Cultural, Religious and Spiritual Ecosystem Services Derived from the Marine Environment Contributor: Alan
    Chapter 8. Aesthetic, Cultural, Religious and Spiritual Ecosystem Services Derived from the Marine Environment Contributor: Alan Simcock (Lead Member) 1. Introduction At least since the ancestors of the Australian aboriginal people crossed what are now the Timor and Arafura Seas to reach Australia about 40,000 years ago (Lourandos, 1997), the ocean has been part of the development of human society. It is not surprising that human interaction with the ocean over this long period profoundly influenced the development of culture. Within “culture” it is convenient to include the other elements – aesthetic, religious and spiritual – that are regarded as aspects of the non-physical ecosystem services that humans derive from the environment around them. This is not to decry the difference between all these aspects, but rather to define a convenient umbrella term to encompass them all. On this basis, this chapter looks at the present-day implications of the interactions between human culture and the ocean under the headings of cultural products, cultural practices and cultural influences. 2. Cultural products No clear-cut distinction exists between objects which have a utilitarian value (because they are put to a use) and objects which have a cultural value (because they are seen as beautiful or sacred or prized for some other non-utilitarian reason). The two categories can easily overlap. Furthermore, the value assigned to an object may change: something produced primarily for the use to which it can be put may become prized, either by the society that produces it or by some other society, for other reasons (Hawkes, 1955).

  • What We Know About Piracy
    WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT PIRACY WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT PIRACY Author: Lydelle Joubert May 2020 http://dx.doi.org/10.18289/OEF.2020.046 Design and layout by Liz Allen, One Earth Future. Cover Image: HMS Monmouth’s Boarding Team Approach a Dhow in the Arabian Gulf. Photo: Will Haigh, Defence Images. FOREWORD What We Know About Piracy is the outcome of a collaboration between the SafeSeas Network, based at the Universities of Bristol (UK) and Copenhagen (Denmark) and the Stable Seas programme of the One Earth Future Foundation. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the data available on piracy, drawing on desk-based research conducted between June 2019 and March 2020. It is the first of three reports and will be followed by similar data overviews on smuggling at sea and on maritime environmental crimes. The research forms part of the research project Transnational Organised Crime at Sea: New Evidence for Better Responses, funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) as part of UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security Research (PaCCS) (Award Number: ES/S008810/1). Additional funding for the work was provided by the One Earth Future Foundation. Further information on the project is available at www.safeseas.net. The report was authored by Lydelle Joubert (Stable Seas). Input and comments on earlier drafts were provided by Dr Curits Bell (Stable Seas), Professor Tim Edmunds (SafeSeas/University of Bristol), Dr Scott Edwards (SafeSeas/University of Bristol), and Professor Christian Bueger (SafeSeas/University of Copenhagen).

  • Part Ii; Self Defense and the New Law of the Sea Regimes
    PART II; SELF DEFENSE AND THE NEW LAW OF THE SEA REGIMES INTRODUCTION Admiral Bruce Harlow, USN Retired! Poulsbo, Washington It is a distinct pleasure for me to be here this afternoon to introduce a distinguished panel to you. I think the papers, commen- taries, aad discussion will be stimulating and will be of interest to all of you. I' ve had the pleasure of a personal association with the Law of the Sea Institute since its inception in Rhode Island in 1966. Believe me, that year is etched in my memory because as a somewhat idealistic lieutenant commander I presented a paper that damn near got me fired. Several weeks ago I reviewed the proceedings of that session for two reasons, One, I wanted to see the rate of survivorship of the charter members. I'm happy to report that membership does aot endanger your health, as evidenced by the large number of old fogies around here. The second reason to review the proceedings of that first meeting was to see if there was any relevance to the organization. I was frankly surprised when I looked at those proceedings to see how raaay of the thoughts and discussion points raised and reported in the pro- ceedings found their way into emerging customary law and indeed into provisions of the 1982 Convention. I think it is safe to say that over the years the Law of the Sea Institute has been one of the focal points for the discussion, albeit informal but authorititative, of important law of the sea issues.
