A sea change in land rights law :

"Discusses Indigenous associations with the sea, giving examples from Umpila, Meriam, Yolngu and Bardi peoples; relationship with commercial fishing industry; considers the legal question of whether the common law recognises marine interests in the same way it recognises native title interests, citing case law from Australia, New Zealand and Canada; briefly outlines constitutional history of acquisition of sovereignty of offshore areas; discusses proof of Indigenous sea rights and examines characterisation, scope, extinguishment and regulation of Indigenous sea rights; discusses whether a fiduciary relationship exists in the context of sea rights and the responsibilities and rights surrounding this." -- Provided by publisher
