Maritime Nations

Maritime nations are countries that have a strong relationship with the sea, often because they have coastlines or large naval capabilities. These nations rely on maritime activities like shipping, fishing, and naval defense for their economy, security, and global influence. Examples include the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States, which have historically benefited from their access to oceans for trade and strategic purposes. Being a maritime nation means prioritizing maritime infrastructure, policies, and interests to support economic growth and national security connected to the sea.
