Law Of Sea

≋ Life itself arose from the oceans and seas. The ocean and seas are vast and covers 140 million square miles, some 72 per cent of the Earth’s surface. The ocean and seas are always been an important source of food for the life it helped generate, and from earliest recorded history It has also served trade and commerce, adventure and discovery. It has separated and brought people together. The law of the sea is important because it helps to ensure the peaceful, cooperative, and legally defined uses of the oceans and seas. However, global warming is revealing the limits of the law of the sea in its current form. ≋ For example, the shrinking Arctic ice sheets are opening up new resources in the seabed, and there are questions about how much humans can interfere with the marine ecosystem to mitigate the effects of climate change. The Law of the Sea is a body of international rules and principles developed to regulate ocean space, as reflected in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
