Abstract
The author notes that development of the world's ocean resources is imperiled by a lack of international legal agreement regarding jurisdiction over the sea. Concurrently, supervision by the United States of oil drilling within its jurisdiction on the Outer Continental Shelf—as revealed through an analysis of the Santa Barbara oil spill—is inadequate to protect the interest of the public in publicly owned resources, and if uncorrected may place the ocean environment of the world in jeopardy. Proposals are submitted for a more satisfactory federal regulation of offshore oil development.
