    Marine Salvage and the Environment: New Zealand and the 1989 Salvage Convention

    Marine Salvage and the Environment: New Zealand and the 1989 Salvage Convention Danielle Aberdein .<; : 4 I INTRODUCTION :.' :;.' . A,...,.., The law of salvage has formed a central part of the wider maritime law relating to marine perils and safety at sea since early times. In recent years, however, salvage law has undergone some significant changes. With the development of large tankers and the shipment of potentially hazardous cargoes the threat to the marine environment has increased. Traditional notions of salvage law -most notably the principle of 'no cure -no pay' 1 - are not able to take account of these environmental concerns satisfacto- rily. The NCNP principle means that a salvor is not entitled to an award for salvage assistance rendered if that assistance does not result in the actual recovery of some property, such as ship or cargo. Under this principle, a salvor who is successful in averting substantial environmentaldamage will not be rewarded for her efforts if she does not successfully salve any property. The 1989 salvage convention2attempts to address this issue, and in doing so makes a number of revolutionary changes to the law of salvage, It is the purpose of this paper to examine: first, the problems raised by the interaction of salvage principles and environmentalconcerns; secondly, the practical effect of some of the central provisions of the Convention; and 1 Hereafter referred to as WCNF. 2 Herder referred to as 'the Convention".For the text of the Convention, st?e M, J* J.

The European Marine Board was established in 1995 to facilitate enhanced cooperation between European marine science organizations towards the development of a common vision on the strategic research priorities for marine science in Europe. Members are either major national marine or oceanographic institutes, research funding agencies, or national consortia of universities with a strong marine research focus. In 2019, the European Marine Board represents 33 Member Organizations from 18 countries. The Board provides the essential components for transferring knowledge for leadership in marine research in Europe. Adopting a strategic role, the European Marine Board serves its member organizations by providing a forum within which marine research policy advice to national agencies and to the European Commission is developed, with the objective of promoting the establishment of the European Research Area.

The common salts in water determine its salinity, and the definition of sea water salinity and its composition are discussed. The relationships of salinity to all phyla of animals living in the coastal waters are reviewed, with emphasis on the estuaries of the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the United States, which are particularly influenced by coastal engineering works and changes of salinity caused thereby.

STATE ANTIQUITY LAWS AND ADMIRALTY SALVAGE: PROTECTING OUR CULTURAL RESOURCES ADAM LAWRENCE* In this article the author analyzes the constitutional power of the states to vest title to sunken artifacts in themselves. The legal nature of sunken property and the conflicting state and federal claims to which it is subject are examined through an historicalpresentation of the statutory and common law pertain- ing to sunken property. The author suggests how the possible conflicts between federal maritime and state jurisdiction can be resolved, both within the framework of the present law, and by enacting new legislation on the state and federal levels.

PROFILE I am a broadly skilled biological oceanographer and conservation biologist who’s research focuses on the foraging ecology and habitat needs of marine animals in relation to pressing conservation issues. At present I have active projects in the following areas: population assessments and the oceanographic drivers of foraging ecology of marine vertebrates, the design and utility of marine protected areas; the effects of climate variability and global change on marine animals and the sustainability of incidental mortality and directed harvests of marine animals. I am also involved in projects addressing the effects of anthropogenic sound on marine mammals and the suitable application of new technological approaches to marine ecology and conservation. I have experience working in a variety of marine ecosystems - from the highly productive waters of the California Current and Bay of Fundy, to the oligotrophic waters of the central Pacific.
