International Law on the Conservation of Marine Mammals’ (2017–2018), carried
out at the Polar Cooperation Research Center, Kobe University, Japan. The project
was funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. As such, the book has
emerged as a ‘side product’ of my postdoctoral project ‘Livelihoods, Cultures and
Local Communities in International Conservation Law’ (2018–2020), funded by the
Maj and Tor Nessling Foundation, carried out at the Helsinki Institute for
Sustainability Science (HELSUS), University of Helsinki.
The international legal regimes dealing with marine mammals are subject to swift
changes and fast developments. Upon the time this book will be published, I am sure
some of the information will already be dated. However, while that may be so, I hope
I have succeeded in providing some insights into the complex interplay between
marine mammals and international law.
