maritime governance

Maritime governance refers to the system of laws, regulations, and institutions that manage and oversee activities in the world's oceans and seas. It ensures safe navigation, protects the environment, and promotes fair use of maritime resources. This framework involves countries, international organizations, and industries working together to prevent illegal activities like piracy or pollution, facilitate trade, and preserve marine ecosystems. Effective maritime governance balances economic development with environmental sustainability, providing a secure and organized framework for all maritime activities.
