The research project 'Accommodating New Interests at Sea: Legal Tools for Sustainable Ocean Governance' (SUSTAINABLEOCEAN) aims to offer a theory of interest and regime interaction in ocean governance. The research question is: how can the law be applied to the future? The project focuses on the interplay between the law of the sea, climate change law and energy law.

This research is funded by the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant). The project runs from 2015 through 2020. The Principal Investigator is Dr. ir. Seline Trevisanut.

The ERC research project SUSTAINABLEOCEAN is carried out within the  Utrecht Center for Water, Oceans and Sustainability Law  (UCWOSL) and the  Netherlands Institute for the Law of the Sea  (NILOS).

The research project ‘Accommodating New Interests at Sea: Legal Tools for Sustainable Ocean Governance’ (SUSTAINABLEOCEAN) aims to offer a theory of interest- and regime-interaction in ocean governance. The research question is: how can the law contribute to the sustainable use of the oceans and strike a balance between competing interests at sea? The project focuses on the interplay between the law of the sea, climate change law and energy law.

This research is funded by the European Research Council (ERC Starting Grant). The project runs from 2015 through 2020. The Principal Investigator is dr. Seline Trevisanut. Meet our team and the steering committee.
