Compensation for Damage to Marine Biodiversity under International Liability Regime on Vessel-Source Marine Oil Pollution Damage

Vessel-source marine oil pollution damage is governed by an international liability regime, including the CLC treaties, 2001 Bunker Convention and the 1977 Seabed Convention. Despite that ＂pollution damage＂ in these treaties does not exclude damage to marine biodiversity, the fact that damage to marine biodiversity is not mentioned in this regime arouses the question of compensability of damage to marine biodiversity under the regime. This article attempts to investigate this question from the perspectives of the relationship between marine environmental damage and damage to marine biodiversity and the possibility of compensation for damage to marine biodiversity under the regime. While the findings of this article reveal that the regime cannot provide sufficient compensation for such damage, this article in the conclusion offers some suggestions for the sake of remedying of damaged marine biodiversity under the regime.

案情简述A因自建房屋,向B购买红砖,起初双方约定红砖的单价为0.375元/块,后因B称该价钱只能将砖卸在马路边,而A要求B送到宅基地边。双方最终约定A向B购买红砖两万块,红砖的单价为0.395元/块,货物送到A的房屋宅基地边。双方达成口头协议后,A一次性向B支付了红砖的货款7900元。数日后,B将第一车红砖交付至A的房屋宅基地边,但因村道狭窄,B自有的货车无法入村,故B将红砖卸在公路边后,让C用手扶拖拉机将红砖运至A的宅基地边。一周后,B再以同样的方式将第二车砖倾倒在马路边,并电话通知C转运,但C没有及时清运。当晚11时。
