The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is one of the defining institutions of modern international maritime law, shaping the exercise of sovereign rights, the governance of marine resources, environmental stewardship, and the evolving geopolitics of the oceans. In this authoritative work, PLO Lumumba examines the legal foundations, policy dimensions, and practical application of the EEZ, with particular attention to Kenya’s maritime experience within the broader framework of the law of the sea.
The author explores the interplay between sovereign rights and international obligations across key issues, including fisheries governance, seabed resource exploitation, freedom of navigation, marine environmental protection, maritime security, and the exercise of state jurisdiction. Situating Kenya’s experience within regional and global developments, the book highlights the growing strategic importance of the Indian Ocean as an arena of economic opportunity, environmental responsibility, and geopolitical consequence.
Combining scholarly insight with practical perspective, Kenya’s Exclusive Economic Zone: Law, Policy and Practice is a timely and authoritative contribution to the literature on maritime governance, ocean affairs, and the evolving law of the sea. It will prove indispensable to academics, policymakers, legal practitioners, diplomats, students, and all readers seeking a deeper understanding of one of the most strategically significant fields of contemporary international law.
