Marine Laws

Marine laws refer to the legal framework governing activities on the oceans and seas. This includes laws related to navigation, shipping, fishing, environmental protection, and maritime boundaries. Key agreements, like the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), delineate rights and responsibilities for coastal nations and ensure the protection of marine resources. Marine laws also address issues such as piracy, marine pollution, and the rights of sailors. Essentially, these laws aim to balance the interests of various stakeholders while promoting safe and sustainable use of marine resources.
