Among those issues are marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction, including marine genetic resources; the continental shelf, including seafloor highs, and its outer limits; and deep seabed mineral resources. At the same time, as a consequence of global warming, fundamental changes are taking place in many areas related to the law of the sea. In particular, sea level is rising globally, which may affect baselines, maritime limits and boundaries of coastal States.    New Knowledge and Changing Circumstances in the Law of the Sea, edited by Tomas Heidar, which includes twenty-two Chapters by prominent legal and scientific experts, focuses on these critical developments, the challenges they pose to the existing legal framework, and the various ways in which States are addressing these challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"New Knowledge and Changing Circumstances in the Law of the Sea is an impressive collection of scholarly contributions from leading legal and scientific experts on the challenges and opportunities presented by new scientific and technical developments on a range of ‘hot’ topics in the international law of the sea...the book aims to address the question ‘how does the law of the sea adapt to new knowledge and changing circumstances?’ Divided up into no less than eight parts, with 22 chapters, this compilation provides a valuable examination of issues across a broad spectrum of topics.\"    - Mitchell Lennan, PhD Researcher, Strathclyde Law School, The University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom, The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law 36 (2021) 1–6.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditor’s Preface  List of Figures and Tables  Contributors    Introduction: How Does the Law of the Sea Adapt to New Knowledge and Changing Circumstances?   Tomas Heidar    Part 1: Legal, Scientific and Technical Interplay in the Law of the Sea  1 Disputes Involving Scientific and Technical Matters and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea   Jin-Hyun Paik    Part 2: Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction: Marine Genetic Resources  2 Mind the Gap between Biological Samples and Marine Genetic Resources in Areas beyond National Jurisdiction: Lessons from Land   Sophie Arnaud-Haond    3 The Legal Status of Marine Genetic Resources in the Context of BBNJ Negotiations: Diverse Legal Regimes and Related Problems   Konrad Jan Marciniak    4 Marine Genetic Resources of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction and Intellectual Property Rights   Fernanda Millicay    5 BBNJ and MGRs: Practical Solutions for Benefit-Sharing   Natalie Y.
