This monograph provides for each coastal country: its law of the sea treaty status; approximate marine area; maritime zones claimed and their breadth; maritime boundaries with other coastal countries (both potential and resolved boundaries); jurisdiction and regulations over marine scientific research specifying national legislation and extent of jurisdiction; and the coastal country history with U.S. research clearance requests, including the number of U.S. research clearance requests, the number of U.S. requests submitted annually to each country (1972-90), the outcome of those requests, and anecdotes where available describing any glitch in the process for each clearance request.

The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution International Marine Science Program has been tracking maritime claims and evolving jurisdiction over marine scientific research for the world's coastal countries covering the past 20 years. This world map illustrates the variety of national maritime claims on an equal area, Robinson projection. (Companion publication: "International Profiles on Marine Scientific Research" (above) by J.

U.S. Strategies for Cooperation with the Soviets on Ocean Science: Report of a Workshop held 29-31 October 1991

The idea of a workshop to discuss U.S.-Soviet ocean science cooperation was first broached during February 1991. Individual and institutional contacts between the two nations' oceanographic communities were increasing dramatically. By the time of the workshop it was clear that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was disintegrating. In spite of the uncertainties, the sponsors (in the U.S., NOAA, NSF, and Navy) determined that it would still be worthwhile to hold the workshop. The workshop format basically consisted of seven thematic panels, each dealing with an area of mutual U.S. and Soviet interest: physical oceanography, geology and geophysics, biogeochemistry, acoustics, space/remote sensing, the Arctic, and marine policy. The reports of these thematic panels form the body of this workshop report.
Science Willing & Politics Permitting: Oceanographic Research in an International Setting

Conducting marine research in the international arena means coping with increasing legal and political constraints. Research in foreign waters is now subject to tighter control by coastal countries, and the areas under control have grown enormously in the past few decades. Stringent regulations on marine research impose more formality and additional funding requirements on scientists. But along with these constraints come opportunities for improving international collaboration in marine science.

This inventory of marine science projects at Sea Grant institutions was completed in order to gauge the level and enhance a database of U.S./foreign collaboration in international marine research initiated at U.S. Sea Grant institutions. The inventory analyzes data from 122 international projects initiated at 20 Sea Grant institutions by profiling and explicating the extent of project foreign locations, sources of funding, areas of expertise for principal investigators, and contact at foreign and U.S. agencies and institutions. It presents one-page summaries of the 122 projects along with indexes by geographic location, funding source, P.I. discipline, P.I. name, and keywords. In addition, this report compares the data from the 1989-1990 inventory with that of the 1985 inventory.

This funding guide provides information for potential funding sources for both marine scientists and social scientists and is an introduction to a variety of sources: private foundations, educational institutions, corporations, government agencies, national, multinational, and international organizations. The IMS Funding Guide is geared primarily toward scholars who have recently obtained the doctoral degree and established scholars who wish to expand their research in an international direction, although some information is contained about funding for pre-doctoral work as well. Funding is available for a variety of applicants including individuals, for- profit and non-profit organizations, universities and colleges, and industry.

International Jurisdictional Issues in the Arctic Ocean

Awareness in the United States of the strategic value of the Arctic has been prevalent for many years. Appreciation of the Arctic's economic, political, and scientific value, as well as its jurisdictional importance, is rapidly increasing. For several years, both the Soviet Union and Canada have had more ongoing commercial, scientific, and policy activities in the Arctic regions than the United States. Resource development, national security, and marine boundary issues promise to raise the level of awareness and importance of the Arctic regions to the United States over the next twenty years. The purpose of this article is to indicate the range and complexity of marine boundary jurisdiction issues in the Arctic.

The Shelfbreak: Some Legal Aspects

Conferences on Law of the Sea have had the objective of increasing the area of ocean floor subject to control by adjacent coastal countries. These extensions of jurisdiction have paid little attention to carefully defined and relatively easily identified geological boundaries, such as the shelfbreak, or shelfedge. Indeed, a geological term often is used in a legal sense that far exceeds the geological meaning, resulting in unnecessary confusion. The Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III) adds an area of the ocean subject to national control equal to that of the land area of the world. Certain aspects of the remaining area of deep-ocean floor, such as mining, will also be controlled and taxed by an international authority. It is possible that future oceanographers may have little opportunity for research without permission and regulation by governments of either coastal nations or the United Nations. One result could be increased research and knowledge of the ocean floor that is under the jurisdiction of industrialized countries and decreased effort in the rest of the ocean.

Anticipating the conclusion of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III) in 1975, 80 coastal nations extended their jurisdictional claims over ocean economic resources to 200 nautical miles from their shores. Most of these countries are enthusiastically promoting new maritime developments, and in less developed countries the mood seems particularly bullish. Many of these nations--struggling with domestic food shortages and scarce capital for development--look to their fisheries as a source of protein-rich foods, and for substantial income from their exports. However, before the less developed countries surge ahead with the development of their fisheries, they need to consider the possible consequences of the strategies available to them, benefiting from the past experiences of other countries which have preceded them in fisheries development.
