Abstract
This article focuses on the International Salvage Convention and the protection of
the environment in salvage operations. The article traces the evolution and history
of the law of Salvage to its present status by using the UK as a case study. In
essence, the article seeks to ascertain the extent of current international regime on
salvage in protecting the environment. The question that this article poses is: Does
the International Salvage Convention 1989 accord enough protection to the
environment against the backdrop of global efforts to promote environmental
protection and sustainable development? The article begins with a brief synopsis
of the underlying principles of salvage including the rule of ‘no cure-no pay’
followed by an appraisal of the events that culminated arguably in the development
of the International Salvage Convention 1989 to safeguard the environment in the
course of salvage operations. A systematic analysis of the defects inherent in the
International Salvage Convention 1989 vis-à-vis protection of the environment are
analysed and a number of reforms are highlighted.
