The source‐to‐sea nexus between water and ocean law: An international and EU perspective

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 210-224, April 2026.
Abstract The source‐to‐sea (S2S) approach provides a systemic framework for analysing the governance of naturally interconnected freshwater and marine ecosystems. This paper examines the extent to which the S2S approach is reflected in key international and EU water and ocean law instruments, as well as the legal and governance implications of said ...
