Marine regulations are rules and guidelines established to ensure the safety, security, and environmental protection of oceans and waterways. These regulations cover various aspects, including shipping practices, fishing activities, and pollution control. They are enforced by national and international bodies, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and local governments. Compliance with marine regulations helps prevent accidents, protect marine life, and maintain sustainable practices in the fishing and shipping industries. Key regulations may include International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) and Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which set standards for pollution control and maritime boundaries.
