Ocean Rights
"Ocean Rights" refers to the legal and ethical principles that govern the use and protection of the world's oceans. These rights aim to ensure that marine resources are managed sustainably, allowing for the preservation of marine ecosystems while supporting the needs of human communities. This concept is increasingly important as issues like overfishing, pollution, and climate change threaten ocean health.
The idea of Ocean Rights is often linked to the broader movement for Environmental Justice and the rights of Indigenous Peoples who depend on marine resources for their livelihoods. Advocates argue that recognizing these rights can lead to better conservation practices and equitable access to ocean resources, benefiting both people and the planet.
