Abstract
The newly enacted China Coast Guard Law (CCGL) has been challenged by the international community, especially regional countries in dispute with China over territorial sovereignty and maritime jurisdiction in the East and South China Seas. The disputants declare the provisions of the CCGL are inconsistent with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The China Coast Guard Law also has significant implications for maritime disputes with regional countries, as well as for maritime security initiatives driven by the United States.

The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law addresses all aspects of marine and coastal law. In addition to normal in-depth scholarly articles, the Journal contains a distinctive feature: a vigorous ‘Current Legal Developments’ section which provides notes and commentary on international treaties and case law, national statute law, national court decisions, and other aspects of state practice; includes the relevant original documentation where appropriate; and monitors developments in relevant international organizations at a global and regional level. The format also includes a book review section.
