Last year we covered the results of another #Colombia-#Nicaragua sea borders case at the #ICJ, where court ordered Colombia to (mostly) stay on its side of 2012 court-mandated border (thick red line on this map).

UN's International Court of Justice (#ICJ) ruled this week that #Nicaragua can't claim economic rights to the seabed (#continentalshelf) in zone where rights to ocean resources normally would default to #Colombia.

@ariaflame I advocate action now - by individuals, states and localities, countries. #LawoftheSea https://www.noaa.gov/law-of-sea-convention came into force in 1994 - it is now 2023. The seas and all their diverse life have in the interim suffered incalculable and irreparable harm. #Oceans #Seas #ClimateCrisis #OverFishing #PlasticPollution

Nations reach accord to protect #MarineLife on #HighSeas: too little too late. or the first time, United Nations members have agreed on a unified treaty to #protect #biodiversity in the high seas - representing a turning point for vast stretches of the planet where #conservation has previously been hampered by a confusing patchwork of laws. #UNConvention on #LawoftheSea came into force in 1994, before marine biodiversity was well-established concept. #ClimateDisaster #ClimateChange #Environment

I think we're going to have to create a standard for AIS/VMS and make an accurate signal part of the Law of the Sea as a crime of universal jurisdiction.
It would have a dramatic effect on policing IUU fishing, and it's going to become quite necessary as vessel automation becomes more pervasive.
(Imagine a Tesla on autopilot, except its a 80,000-ton Panamax tanker on the high seas.)

Opposition Grows Among Countries as Seabed-Mining Efforts Push Ahead
by Maurizio Guerrero
At least a dozen United Nations member states, along with Latin American and Caribbean countries, oppose a plan by a global body to issue the first-ever license to a nation to explore minerals in the deep seabed in 2023.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin: “China is the only country with both the will and, increasingly, the power to reshape its region and the international order to suit its authoritarian preferences. . .So let me be clear — we’re not going to let that happen.”

Maritime conflict heats up as China’s fishing fleet goes dark in Argentine waters.
China’s presence in South American waters extends beyond the South Atlantic. Its fishing vessels swing around the southern tip of Argentina and head north into the Pacific along the coastlines of Chile, Peru and Ecuador.

As Secretary Austin said, “Today, the Indo-Pacific is at the heart of American grand strategy.” And that strategy cannot succeed without defending the rules and alliances at stake in the South China Sea.
