Law of the Sea - master
The oceans and seas constitute two-thirds of the entire planet and are of fundamental importance to sustaining life, human activity, providing commerce and navigational routes, and contain a substantial proportion of our natural resources (e.g., fish and hydrocarbons). They are also the world's greatest reservoir of biodiversity, including marine mammals, fish, and countless other species.
