MARINE ECODIVERSITY DAMAGE AND LIABILITY: THE CLC GAP

Paula Castro Silveira

Resumen


Marine pollution can come from many sources and result in different kinds of damage. At a time when the environment is getting more and more affected by anthropocentric activities, it is essential to be able to legally address the problem of liability and repair of the marine environment itself. Therefore, having in consideration that the pollution related to hydrocarbons has one of the most important and effective liability regime, the objective of this paper is to examine the issue of liability for damage caused by hydrocarbons, in particular the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage (CLC) and the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage (BUNKER), in order to verify whether those regimes adequately address damage to marine ecodiversity.
