Law of the Sea Workflow

The earth's oceans hold a vast amount of valuable resources. While it is important to uphold the freedom of and access to the seas, the increase in shipping traffic, the exploration and exploitation of the sea's resources, and the ability to go deep below the seabed require better and more efficient international rules and regulations. New technologies have paved the way to follow those regulations and to improve the definition of ocean boundaries, allowing some coastal states to go beyond their Exclusive Economic Zone limits and apply the continental shelf regime to the seabed, its subsoil, and its resources.
