Earth jurisprudence is a legal philosophy that views humans as part of the Earth community, advocating for the protection of non-human species and ecosystems. This chapter explores how Earth jurisprudence can be applied to protect Sri Lanka’s oceans from environmental disasters. It draws lessons from countries like Ecuador, New Zealand, and India to guide legal reforms for environmental protection.
