Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
New Zealand's Supreme Court's recent rejection of a huge seabed mining scheme in the South Taranaki Bight has spurred conversations throughout the world on the fine line that must be maintained between economic development and environmental preservation. Possible economic benefits and environmental trade-offs of this judgement for the seabed mining sector are discussed in detail in this article. The article focuses on the precautionary principle and how it might be used in policymaking, but it also looks at the broader societal ramifications, international responses, and the need for sustainable alternatives to strike a good balance between development and conservation.
