Information about fees and unit costs
International law of the sea provides the overarching global legal regime for the world’s ocean spaces. International law of the sea is therefore key to the maintenance of international peace and security, protection of the world’s marine environment and regulation of the peaceful uses of international marine areas. The ambit of international law of the sea includes territorial seas, the continental shelf, archipelagic waters, contiguous and 200-mile zones, the high seas and the deep seabed. It provides the legal foundation for sovereign rights over marine areas, delimitation of maritime boundaries between states, international maritime navigational uses, seabed mining, the exploitation of fish stocks, piracy and marine scientific research.
