Maritime defense involves protecting a nation's oceans, ports, ships, and maritime resources from threats such as piracy, smuggling, illegal fishing, and military attacks. It includes a combination of naval forces, surveillance systems, and technology to monitor and secure maritime borders. The goal is to ensure safe navigation, uphold sovereignty, and safeguard economic interests like trade routes and maritime resources. Effective maritime defense requires coordination among military, coast guard, and other agencies to respond swiftly to any security challenges at sea.
