ARC - LIEF Infrastructure Grant
Ocean Law and Policy Library
Background
In 2005, the Australian Research Council provided substantial funding to create an Oceans Law and  Policy Library within the Centre for Maritime Policy, and its partners the Faculty of Law and Institute for Antarctic and Southern Oceans Studies at the University of Tasmania, and the School of Law at James Cook University. The intention was to create the largest and most comprehensive collection of law of the sea research materials in Australia.
The collection includes primary source materials such as international treaties, reports, and statutory instruments from Australia and overseas, United Nations materials and documents from other international organizations including the International Maritime Organisation, the FAO, and regional fisheries agencies. In addition, a large range of secondary source materials in areas of oceans law, including navigation, fisheries, sovereignty and jurisdiction, shipping and maritime law, and resource exploitation. The collection is also supported by access to electronic databases, including Westlaw, LEXIS and the United Nations Treaty Series.
