regional maritime agreements

Regional maritime agreements are treaties or arrangements between countries in a specific area to govern the use and management of their shared ocean resources. These agreements often address issues like shipping routes, fishing rights, environmental protection, and maritime security. By collaborating, countries aim to ensure sustainable use of marine resources, prevent conflicts, and enhance cooperation on ocean-related matters. Examples include the Baltic Sea Action Plan and the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism, which help countries work together to address regional challenges and protect their marine environments.
