Extract

The ocean environment within which navigators operate is not only physical in character; it is an economic, political and legal environment as well. One of the most significant factors influencing general environmental development in recent years has been the rapid advance and expansion in the field of ocean and ocean-related technology. Much of this technological evolution, while helping to reduce the restrictions imposed by the physical characteristics of the oceans, has created new challenges of an economic, political and legal nature.
