Publisher's Synopsis
The sustainable exploitation of the oceans has become a pressing issue, and this book takes a deep dive into the complex world of maritime activity. From the global transport of essential goods to leisure activities and the many professional maritime activities, this book covers it all. A strong emphasis is placed on the technology that enables the 'Reunion with the Sea'. The rise in the Earth's temperature is causing the ocean to suffer, affecting marine life. Sea levels are rising due to the melting of the polar ice caps, which are displacing coastal communities. This book emphasises the importance not only of protecting the marine environment, but also of properly regulating and implementing International Maritime Law for effective enforcement and guaranteeing the security and sovereignty of each nation's exclusive economic zones.
