| Marine Scientific Research is a research process through which human beings obtain knowledge of the
environment and find ways of how to protect and preserve thereof. Based on the said definition, this article
argues that marine scientific research is closely interrelated with marine environmental protection. From
the international law of the sea perspective, evaluation and analysis of the interrelation between the two
concepts within the international legal instruments, namely and most importantly, 1982 United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea possesses an outstanding significance. Implementation of a marine
scientific research should, on the one hand, respects and complies with the relevant international rules and
regulations, namely international environmental law, and on the other, the very marine scientific research
is basically and primarily implemented with the aim to enhance the human knowledge on a more effective
protection of the (marine) environment. |
