The book sets out a cautionary tale about the legal protection of the ocean and maps out a route to redemption under the law of the sea and the BBNJ Agreement most especially, with a particular focus on a remarkable upwelling system in the Central Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean, the Thermal Dome. Detailed comparative analyses of five other regional case studies highlight lessons learned that could inspire a conservation and management regime for the unique ecosystems and the associated biodiversity of the Thermal Dome.
