Abstract

Abstract The Maldives suffers environmental crimes, such as illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, illegal discharge and dumping of waste and chemicals, illicit trafficking of wild flora and fauna, and prohibited air pollution, as well as coral and sand mining. This article provides a desk-based, legal analysis of environmental crime in the Maldives. As the first study focusing on this topic in the Maldives, this article highlights the challenges facing this state, explores the existing legal landscape, and provides a framework of recommendations to enhance the law to detect, monitor, and punish environmental crimes.

期刊介绍： Drawing upon the findings from island biogeography studies, Norman Myers estimates that we are losing between 50-200 species per day, a rate 120,000 times greater than the background rate during prehistoric times. Worse still, the rate is accelerating rapidly. By the year 2000, we may have lost over one million species, counting back from three centuries ago when this trend began. By the middle of the next century, as many as one half of all species may face extinction. Moreover, our rapid destruction of critical ecosystems, such as tropical coral reefs, wetlands, estuaries, and rainforests may seriously impair species" regeneration, a process that has taken several million years after mass extinctions in the past.
