The International Journal Of Marine And Coastal Law is an academic journal devoted to the law of the sea and coastal law. It covers not only the theory and practice of the law of the sea, but also the legal systems of coastal states and their interaction in the international arena. The journal's scholarly contributions are not only reflected in its in-depth scholarly articles, but also through its unique "Current Legal Developments" section, which provides readers with a platform to keep abreast of Marine and coastal legal developments.

The "Current Legal Developments" section is a special feature of the journal, which not only notes and comments on international treaties and case law, but also covers national statutes, decisions of national courts, and other aspects of state practice. This comprehensive coverage allows IJMCL to provide readers with the latest developments and trends in Marine and coastal law. Where appropriate, the section also includes relevant original documents, such as the text of an international treaty or the provisions of a national law, to provide the reader with first-hand information.
