Summary:When I was asked to write a foreword to this book, I was sitting in TheHague observing the case Australia had brought against Japan overwhaling in the Antarctic. The case has pitched two competing worldviews on sustainable utilization of the marine environment; on protectionof species; on science and its role in ocean management; and on, ofcourse, the operation of international agreements and the interpretationof applicable law. Being asked to write this foreword gave me reason topause and consider what it is about Antarctica and its Southern Oceanthat sets it apart from the rest of the world, including the Arctic.
