In the aftermath of the disastrous Prestige sinking off the French Atlantic coast in November 2002, I came across the legal questions posed by Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas. Prof. Malcolm Forster of UCL encouraged me to pursue my research and eventually supervised a study on the Western European PSSA.

I would like to express my sincerest appreciation to him. He not only aroused my interest in environmental law, but also taught me always to explore the subtleties of an issue. Being an assistant to him for some years was
