Summary/Abstract

This paper examines the current state of international law surrounding geoengineering practices involving the sea, with a predominant focus on ocean iron fertilization, to evaluate the law’s appropriateness and effectiveness at regulating this conduct. This paper concludes that the current law lacks certainty and clarity. It proposes that the law would be more effective through a legally binding amendment to the London Convention and Protocol, stronger domestic legislation and the removal of economic incentives.
