Abstract
The international legal landscape for marine mammals, which I have coined ‘international marine mammal law’, is wide and scattered. In the Introduction to this book I have argued that the main body of international law that international marine mammal law belongs to, is international environmental law as well as the law of the sea. For the most part, this statement still holds true, but we have seen that also other branches of (international) law comprise international marine mammal law.
