Testimonials

• Brian, your book is a "what to do, and what not to do" guide.  Your book was a real eye-opener.  My company turned on me as soon as they realized I was seriously injured.  If I had read your book sooner, I would have avoided a lot of costly mistakes.  They really have a "bag" of tricks waiting on an injured worker.  I found everything in your book to be true.  These companies have a "kennel of pit bull attorneys" who attack injured workers legally, and use every trick in the book to keep from paying medical bills.  Captain Jim VickersMississippi

What is the Law of the Sea Treaty?

A: The Law of the Sea Treaty, derided by critics as the “LOST,” is taken from the official name of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (“UNCLOS”). It is a United Nations agreement defining rights and responsibilities of countries in their use of international waters. i.e. "the high seas," and the sea bed below.

The agreement deals with areas include seabed mining, fishing rights, environmental and navigation issues. Proponents cite it as a means to provide equitable rights to the oceans among the world’s nations under the so called “common heritage of mankind” principle.

Critics deride it as a UN takeover of over two-thirds of the world’s surface through mandatory taxation administered by an International Seabed Authority.

The United States has signed but not ratified the treaty.
