Maritime Rights
"Maritime Rights" refer to the legal entitlements and protections that countries and individuals have over the oceans and seas. These rights include the ability to navigate, fish, and exploit resources within specific maritime zones, such as the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which extends 200 nautical miles from a nation's coastline.
Additionally, maritime rights are governed by international laws, primarily the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This framework helps resolve disputes between nations regarding territorial waters, shipping routes, and environmental protections, ensuring that maritime activities are conducted fairly and sustainably.
