Nairobi convention means Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks
Adopted on 18 May, 2007. It is not yet in force. It  will provide the legal basis for States to remove, or have removed, shipwrecks that may have the potential to affect adversely the safety of lives, goods and property at sea, as well as the marine environment specially in waters outside the territorial seas although a state may apply it in its territorial waters by informing IMO.
