Extract

The United Nations Law of the Sea Conference is probably the most important international lawmaking conference ever held. It has the formidable task of concluding a comprehensive treaty on ocean use with provisions of breadth of territorial sea, transit through international straits, fisheries, protection of the marine environment, exploitation of deep sea minerals, and scientific research. The work of the Law of the Sea Conference, therefore, can affect every American whether he lives near or far from the ocean.
