Marine rights refer to the legal entitlements and protections granted to marine ecosystems, species, and habitats. These rights aim to ensure the sustainable use and conservation of ocean resources, recognizing the intrinsic value of marine life. They often involve regulations that govern fishing, shipping, and pollution to protect marine biodiversity and promote ecological balance. The concept of marine rights is closely linked to the broader movement for environmental rights, which advocates for the protection of nature as a fundamental human right. Organizations and governments may implement policies that support marine rights, such as the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) to safeguard critical habitats and species from overexploitation and degradation.
