The human impact of vast areas of the oceans remains relatively unregulated. Sometimes, in fact, the only controls over the exploitation of marine resources lie in the environmental consciousness.
While the field of environmental ethics has explored rights and duties for land use, stewardship and policy, relatively little attention has been given to comparable issues of marine environments.
Values at Sea makes an important step toward moving environmental ethics discussions into a broader framework. The book is edited by Dorinda G. Dallmeyer, associate director of UGA’s Dean Rusk Center--International, Comparative and Graduate Legal Studies and a faculty member of the Environmental Ethics Certificate Program.
Values at Sea gathers 15 papers by an interdisciplinary group of scholars. From the Great Lakes to the Pacific Islands, from the open sea to coastal areas, the papers cover a broad array of ethical issues and policy matters related to such topics as the valuation of marine life, indigenous people’s knowledge and environmental stewardship, endemic and exotic species, aquaculture, oil spills and species protection.
