Summary:	Despite the benefits that PSSA designation can deliver, the practice, both within the IMO and by individual member States, has considerably undermined confidence in this concept. This book focuses on the events within the IMO that have led to this lack of confidence. It offers an examination of coastal State practice with the PSSA concept.
