This chapter begins by considering the definition of marine scientific research (MSR), followed by a brief assessment of the development of the regime dealing with MSR. It then examines the MSR regime contained within the 1982 UN Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) from a zonal and operational perspective, followed by an analysis of how MSR is dealt with in complementary legal regimes. Next, the chapter reviews current coastal State legislative frameworks regulating MSR and comments on future issues confronting the regime.
