- Title
What is "Sensitive" for a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area?
- Authors
Gillespie, Alexander
- Abstract
Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas (PSSAs) are the foremost tool in international law to protect high-value parts of the ocean from the risks of shipping of a global nature. A large part of the equation for the designation of these areas by the International Maritime Organization works around the question of whether an area is sensitive enough to warrant such a designation. This article seeks to examine how the IMO understands sensitivity, and then juxtaposes a contemporary marine area, the Salish Sea, to fully explore the concept.
