south africa who fought apartheid on al-jazeera there are some of the media stories a critical look at the global news media spread on al-jazeera going to shut off access to social media. but on the clock in the hall the top stories here on al-jazeera 1st time would be fighter jets have been scrambled 17 times to intercept 18 chinese aircraft that entered taiwan's a space china has launched military drills in response to a senior u.s. officials visit to taipei beijing says the drills are to protect what it sees as its territorial sovereignty. recently the united states and the democratic progressive party authorities have set up their collusion and frequently stir up trouble whether it's using taiwan to contain china or rely on foreign powers to threaten others it is wishful thinking and is destined to be dead and who plays

with fire will get burnt the chinese people's liberation army has firm will full confidence in sufficient ability to thwart all external interference and separatist acts of taiwan independence and resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity that's enough from robert reich who's following the story from seoul. this intense military activity in and around the taiwan strait really ratcheting up the tension level in this part of the world of the china's defense ministry has said that this exercise is necessary and reasonable but we know now from taiwan's military that in response they have had to scramble friday their intercept jets when they say that they detected a number multiple chinese and military aircraft crossing over the how half way line in the straits of taiwan that separates taiwan from mainland china 15 pro-democracy activists in hong kong are back in court for their role in last year's protests among them is newspaper publisher and businessman she lay there facing charges of

inciting organizing or participating in an authorized demonstrations so the tension facilities at the new refugee camp in greece have already started to break down and have begun to settle into the camp on the island of lesbos but they fear the conditions will be as poor as they were in the old camp which burned down last week 12000 people had been living there but it was only designed to hold a quarter of that stuff and over is the head of mission for doctors without borders and he says many of the refugees are traumatized. they're coming a lot on the shock of course for what's happened to them in the last few days in the last few weeks after the fire that everything that's been going down the walk down to do to decide finding no nobody to wait for them except for policemen sort of pushing them around and inserting them and keeping them in disfavor restricted area so for sure it's difficult and patients coming because they have chronic conditions so death as much of the culture vascular issues they don't have you know

drugs but then also as people getting cut having some result of defiance and birds and then we have a lot of mental health case that are coming to us that completely desperate and that need top the care that need to be taken you know under proper conditions not just you know our psychologist sending them back out industry it's just unacceptable the number of people being admitted to british hospitals with coronavirus is doubling every 8 days that's according to health secretary matt hang called but he won't say whether that means another nationwide lockdown will be enforced it comes as officials in france and spain tighten restrictions because of a rise in cave in 1000 cases there. is expressed alarm over the surge in infections across europe well israel has imposed a 2nd nationwide lockdown despite public protests over the impact it will have on the economy the 3 week shutdown went into effect within the last hour you can sides

with the jewish new year the country seen a surge of new cases and it's recently had one of the highest infection rates in the world many shop owners say their businesses are unlikely to survive this 2nd closure heavy rain and further flooding is full cost in parts of sudan in the coming week it will worsen the situation for residents in the capital of khartoum but a 3rd of sudan's flood victims live see no state. storm sally has moved to the eastern united states off because the widespread flooding on the gulf coast to ensure rain has fallen in virginia and in the carolinas with twin a dose reckoned being used to rescue people caught off by floodwaters in both alabama and the florida. but that lines got more news here in algeria coming out right off the ocean monopoly life and.

for millenia the oceans lay outside the dominion of man. as state's influence extended only 3 nautical miles from the coast a little further than a cannonball could travel. but then humans discovered the ocean floor. and the largest land grab in welty story became.

a mother. i'm tom a fly and i'm in the bedroom of rodeo should in the north atlantic twice i've sold it twice in small yards and also crossed in a bottle bug in. with him when i lived on rockaway in this some people call a survival capsule i call it a wooden box it's a house so this is my house this is a one man house i lived with a 40 days it did the job it kept the window for me i was warm and dry but don't forget i'm right on the top of the cliff it's just straight down to the city.

it's home the clean is one of the u.k.'s greatest adventure has he crossed the atlantic. 5 times the 1st time in a globe and once in a vessel shaped like a beer bottle for his latest trip he sailed from newfoundland chicle in the smallest sailboat ever to cross the atlantic. and. soon mclean will travel to new york in a boat built to resemble a whale. but it was more than an adventure however. it was a mission a mission done in service to mother england. somebody said about st kilda and they go in there but so the rock or rock was right there in the middle of the atlantic and there seems to be

a dispute who owns it and i thought why if i be your 1st civilian to reside on rock call and that would help the case it wasn't quite so good the wind carried there. they closed in without it. is very dangerous there now you can see how lumpy is quite dangerous. they were far from ok after that momentary triumph but then a strong work ethic the big way down i go down there was 54 straight down into the foam flies helplessly into the sea. the landing at 1985 cost told him to clean his knife. but he eventually made it to safety and flew in london and getting to the top was only the beginning however great britain willing to claim the law because an island it. happened international law stipulates at the time

must remain there for 21 days old. when the pope turned to go home and leave me for the 1st time. i was glad to see them go i was on my adventure i'm here with iraq and the birds i'm happy to be here of the chiefs are making history. gesture to remind those who may challenge it that brittania ruled these waves. for the u.k. it was about more than just claiming a lump of granite in the ocean the real objective was to secure the resource which a oh yeah oh around local the islet was to play a key lonely british territorial claims. the main players in british maritime claims work in an office on the south coast of india and. it's

a fascinating area of work to do it it's there's not often somebody working in oceans signs that you do get the opportunity to mix but for legal on the technical aspects i don't see how they work together almost in order to develop something on behalf of the state. but we have the united kingdom to the east and as we further west we passed the rock all rock itself onto the plateau the land area of great britain and 240000 square kilometers the area that the u.k. have submitted for the rock is a 163000 square kilometers. it would be to. my main reason to go to rockall was to inhabit it and if i stayed in international

law less than 21 days i'm only visited i had to stay more than 21 days and by staying there more than 21 days it in fact 40 days it wasn't iraq it's an oil and i made it an argument. local. for the u.k. to claim the territorial sea overwhelmed along it had to prove that it was inhabitable yet the eyelids could be easily confused with any walk and tom stay was controversial so controversial that the u.k. had to put another territory into the mix st kilda the archipelago increased the british crowns claimed 516-0000 square kilometers st kilda has been deserted ever since its 36 remaining inhabitants left almost a century ago but humans lived there once and they could live there again at least theoretically. what does the u.k.

want with all this water. what do you mean by owning a piece of the ocean. the idea of the ocean has changed over time. mums from the planners to show how goods and their car talk of his mum saw the world and what they flew into an ocean is very much sure what was important to them and also. before 1492 before columbus's journey to the americas the ocean as a broad portion of the world's surface as a as a major space that figured into our sense of the globe really wasn't there in the middle ages the world was thought to be a single large landmass

a veritable mega continent without ocean. so the ocean really plays no role at all except to show a limit the ocean shows the limit of society and shows the limits of actually of god's kingdom of the kingdom on earth out to the east beyond the ocean clay eden lay that the promised land lay heaven beyond that there was really nothing baptist . for most of human history the oceans were projection screens for the imagination an unexplored and irrepressible loved a mighty barrier a place of terror. despite its dangers the ocean became more and more important over the centuries. as global trade developed merchant fleets transformed the oceans into vast shipping lanes people

from past centuries would never have dreamed of laying claim to the ocean for them it was a blue expire. it's full with dangers and obstacles that needed to be overcome a sailor's journey to foreign lands. and of course the 2 dimensional bit is ironic because the ocean is so material a 3 dimensional you know we you step into the ocean you sink. yet in the 19th and 20th centuries something happened that changed our idea of the ocean for africa the seabed became a place of exploration in 858 as the transatlantic cape was being late engineers noticed variation in the oceans could this be evidence of undersea mountains the 1st scientific study of the ocean floor was undertaken by the german survey vessel meteo in 1925 scientists today likened the expedition to

columbus's 1st voyage which began the exploration of a towering incognita a previously unknown land over the next few decades a picture of the undersea cosmos gradually emerged. suddenly we've kind of developed this new awareness of the seabed of the underneath of course this itself is also kind of a fantasized idealisation of the ocean because you're imagining that you can see through the water column the water is missing from here the fish are missing a subtle way the topography of the seabed is quite literally brought to the surface . of the discovery of the seabed radically changed our idea of the ocean the ocean was no longer just water it was 1st and foremost a land mass a vast expanse that belongs to no one but the could perhaps be seen just.

this man had a groundbreaking idea. the president of the united states harry else truman a man whose influence or reaching of any other man on earth. how he truman asserted his country's influence with nothing claiming this ocean was a territory territory under water that could be annexed just. part of the united states. enormous quantities of oil befell in the gulf of mexico but the oil lay beyond the 3 miles island in which coastal states could exercise their song rights truman wanted more he wanted new term story for the night it states the superpower needed more more oil urgently oil reserves on the mainland no longer sufficed. our dependence on these minerals and raw materials is so fresh and our supply so

uncertain that we are moving as rapidly as we can and by every means that ingenuity can devise to expand facilities to step up production find new sources develop substitutes and bring in increased supplies from foreign sources. after to 2nd world war in $1045.00 then us president truman issued a proclamation. declaring that the natural resources in the. seabed and subsoil belong to the united states of america. in convincing the world that the american president not only had the will but also the right to incorporate undersea territory truman used an argument that built on a recent discovery some areas of the seabed oceanic others

a continental. the us had to have this kind of basis of a jew logical link between its land mass and the land mass submerge and lead to its territory. andy an idea of the geological continental shelf is the basis which the us saw as. a legal basis as well they had to finally end the bases that they found most convincing most of course science. but the. odds of being at sea and i'm not so cursed by ever what is it must there sure we

yeah let's encourage 15 year tours like this name years. in. our business in the us we are by to get. the argument that the continent continues on made up the core of truman's justification this was the more convincing because the historical events that legitimized this theory which by far into history. possibly far. entire do if keep this. time in true terms. the korean talent left by mehdi army on minimum. will feed your cat is a geophysicist at the alfred baker institute in play my husband alfred vega noticed that the coastlines of north and south america seems to fit together with those of

us and africa like pieces of a puzzle. indeed carnegie lookee in differ on found on one of the dark was dusty comment i'm up to some. pianist. in record scientists today believe there was once a supercontinent that at some point began to drift apart in the early 20th century this idea seemed completely preposterous. this being water sanitary. spinup could turn. out to damage that kind of supervise and. this is since on the continent on them in the atmosphere to nothing we only out so we can wear it as africa the american doctors and indian. muslim if.

one does this to cure the present. indian. it's here. to cost us a con invite not. that. these are but i hear that's where the quote entire. went on here has only climate delegates has a. up or kunder that condemned. to form yet on this have to be done article sausan of the feel of. gas but. they did it this submerged land mass is really a prolongation of your land territory you know it's who can argue that this would not be partly right territory. the more people became aware of large quantities of oil and gas in the ocean floor the more coastal states tried to claim it for themselves they called for an international law based on the

geological definition of a continental shelf yet many states resisted the earth's history has not favored each country equally to brushless learned how to answer by can share. bansemer and us as we buffy apart from. africa require a particular made up artist dozens i didn't want in my heart in context look at a picture of us learned. to balance out the geological differences that emerged over hundreds of millions of years the nations of the world abandoned the geological definition of a continental shelf in favor of a legal definition that applies to all coastal states uniformly the godless of its undersea geology every country is granted a continental shelf extending 200 nautical miles out to sea its exclusive economic zone. so these did they be of these 200 as

a magic number became acceptable to many states at the conference but the broad margin states did not accept this because of course they were as far as they're concerned they would come out as a loser and it's not just the us and it also other states such as canada russia is also one of those states so they were not willing to give this up. ultimately states with a wide continental shelf prevailed a clueless with momentous consequences was quietly appended to the law of the sea convention the clause in question is article 76 it says that the state can lay claim to his geological continental shelf in addition to his legal continental shelf provided in the state can supply data demonstrating the shelves outer limits within 10 years. the time limit triggered

a veritable wound on the world's oceans and the largest land allocation in world history. for the 1st time in the history of humanity a land grab occurred based not only more on. traditional forms of cholera but rather on geological findings. scientists have a special role in the case of the ocean because the physical difference isn't as obvious it's not as experienced if you're on an island detention oh you're on an island you can experience where land meets water i have no idea where the seabed ends you know where the continental shelf fans and you know nobody does from every day observation. so i would like to explain now actually article $76.00 of the convention actually

works and it's all about natural. laws so we have. actually learned continues underwater or something like this if we thing is decided by the point where the continental gradient drops off at the foot of the continental slope this spot is used to calculate the show outer limits the state can choose between 2 formulas it can extend its borders 60 nautical miles or 100 kilometers from this point see woods and be more advantageous however to use the sediment thickness because the settlements on the mainland the state has a territorial claim to this part of the seabed the thicker the layer of sediment the better according to the thickness of all the continental shelf extends until the point where the thickness of sediment amounts to one percent of the distance

from the foot of the slope. because no one only chests understand geological data only thing. determined to find a state song when white 16 of the election paints a commission of banks to respond to things with the global community recognizes states of suffering bullet has evolved from 1. 0 non-si business wiped out by mickey the. zune or a. commission uns it limits of the gun. as pows idiotic and zap it is as is g.'s e instead to join you bob heaped then join sed head busy sure if we had each really involved. would be. call him names

helped build this commission yes now he is among its fiercest critics. g. home in the publish your. i paid for. slim i stop. its bad one for. that hour i mocked our dinner tonight in president. of the 21 geologist of the continental shelf commission would d.c. to the united nations process filming it is for me the none of the members may speak to the public in spite of precisely because of the fact that their decisions can change maritime nations. easily.

i am confidentiality the. best i have seen the. hydrant. oh joe because you've run every loach that joe de it down the dat even east zhan why this to us i'm going there yeah i. played of country then g.-d. father knights great but does ice sheets rising you know house. earth. corruption it is that invisible behind a wall of silence. against corruption corruption is not something to be told that this. is not the african. country his own let's destroy this wall. in

2020 the free space overlord encourages the heroes who are fighting against corruption this helps our communities to save the resources that we need in order to address the burning problems that affect us all. shine a light on your anti corruption here or. nominate now. russia has jeopardized the united states security interests we know what you are doing and you will not succeed perceptions from the outside looking. good what's the picture from the inside. still think russia's foreign policy is too soft to keep the most russian goals have retreated not peace and more to the full russia on al-jazeera. for decades criminals made millions trafficking drugs through thailand when one least explores why the country has now become the 1st in southeast asia to meet

allies medical marijuana. on al-jazeera. i don't know a clock in doha the top stories here on al-jazeera and taiwanese fighter jets have been scrambled 17 times to intercept 18 chinese aircraft that entered taiwan's a space china has launched military drills in response to a senior u.s. officials visit to taipei beijing says the drills are to protect what it sees as its territorial sovereignty from abroad is following the story from seoul this intense military activity in and around the taiwan strait really ratcheting up the tension level in this part of the world of the china's defense ministry has said that this exercise is necessary and reasonable but we know now from taiwan's

military that in response they have had to scramble friday that intercept jets when they say that they detected a number of multiple chinese and military aircraft crossing over the how half way line in the straits of taiwan that separates taiwan from mainland china sanitation facilities are already starting to break down and the refugee camp on the greek island close boss people moving into it fair conditions will be as poor as those in the old overcrowded camps that burned down last week. the number of people being admitted to british hospitals with coronaviruses doubling every 8 days that's according to health secretary matt hancock but he won't say if the government would consider another nationwide lockdown. israel has imposed a 2nd nationwide lockdown despite public protests over the impact it will have on the economy the 3 week shutdown went into effect within the last hour and current science with the jewish new year israel has recently had one of the highest

infection rates in the worlds. libyan warlord had before have to has announced he will allow oil production to resume from friday after us forces in eastern libya have imposed a blockade on oil facilities since january but libya's national oil corporation says it won't regime duction until its facilities are demilitarized the united states has banned the downloads of chinese owned video to talk and messenger app we chat the band comes into effect on sunday earlier this week u.s. president donald trump had said he would not sign off on a deal that would see american tech giant oracle buying to top you had told it to sell last month citing potential national security risks as the headlines got more news here on al-jazeera after ocean's monopoly continues life now. but. before the commission of ex-pats was founded in new york with the global

community recognizes states and the suffering borders as pows who do you got there and zara it's s d z institute jointly bob peeped. for the 1st time in the history of humanity a land grab occurred based not only more on traditional forms of power but rather on geological findings. of the experts who tipped the scales in loring's about maritime territories a notoriously unforthcoming one member has agreed to speak about the commission on the condition the team mate has not in new york but in which city informs. king and personally i have always felt that we could do an effort to actually be more transparent and to communicate more. to. me. so my name is walter roost

i'm a marine physicist work at it from air france and i'm a member of the un commission on the limits of the continental shelf. well the 1st thing i should say is that you know the work of the commission yes it's true it's quite. 3 that very confidential fashion and the main reason behind that from the beginning while the reasons one is that we're dealing with sovereign rights of states secondly many of the states submit data that are actually confidential data derives from petroleum industry francis so and those data they have to be treated with a very high level of confidentiality there are powerful interests behind the state's petitions seabed data that have enormous economic significance this information contains important clues for where natural resources might be located

'd industries and states are not inclined to share this information which can be worth billions i think what we did what i could say is that as members of the commission i think we consider ourselves really scientific and technical experts but we also. cautions of the fact that our recommendations or decisions that we make have huge impact both politically economically. and so on so is it possible to distinguish those 2. for geologists in the commission have the job of evaluating continental shelf data submitted by countries officially the commission only makes recommendations but since their conclusions are not cooperated by anyone else they have de facto or pfoa t. to decide which nations get which territories. 5 nations that border the

arctic ocean are in a bid to extend their software in wyatt's in the direction of the north pole denmark china to us norway and russia each wants as much territory as possible the area is best. managed to contain 10 percent of the wolves oil was. due to fly who wouldn't. edge to shoot. if. for. us we're doing is is hince has put down. actions. that.

russia understood to take advantage of the new. in 2002 he was one of the 1st countries to submit a claim to the continental shelf commission the russians asserted lawyers to no less than the entire essential arctic an area of 1500000 square kilometers including the north pole coal hinz was known as the man who shot down lushes claim on account of insufficient scientific evidence employed a trick that many states are using to push through their claims even after they rejected. this is a country. this is a boat. or d.l.c. este. ron. i'm a fresh one of. the.

missions. in the race to control the world's oceans data is key if a claim that nations can have just collect more information this effectively allows countries to circumvent the commission's 10 year deadline governments can submit new reports until their claims who approved each additional geological submission brings with it a fresh womb for interpretation the name of the game is if you want to have the best answer for your time boundaries. nor the best answer for your extended continental shelf you go out and collect the best modern day data possible to go in use for your final application for law to see to ensure that the answer is the best

that it can be. russia has since submitted it with fines to date to the continental shelf commission but canada and denmark want to know home. how can other countries with the same scientific documents claim the same territory . is an ocean and want to succumb to it it is a question of respect if the commission evaluates the scientific data and makes a decision if the for or against a state's claim once a claim is approved it is binding and cannot be with 1st. i don't know i mean we have no. if we replace all members of the commission that the cleeve we have 21 new members and we would give them the same case it

would be get the same result can be quite certain we will not get exactly the same result so i. i don't believe that the commission can be a 100 percent right because 100 percent right does not exist in natural sciences we're talking about in the preaching based all right up to the response to. the commission is a clip of textbooks selected by the church to save the nations of the $21.00 members on the commission 19 come from countries that of others like the territorial expansion to national interests playing decisions of its members inserts against the recommendations and tested. and the face turned so good as your name. on top of. this is that the work had charm in every age i did my.

country they have put all your lives over the problems your nobody. wiking son well there were 2 candidates to make. him all i can say is that. michael loved puts the international seabed to. say it is a type of executive council of the ocean floor they supervise what the states are unable to get their hands on with continental shelf claims the i.s.a.'s official motto is that the deep sea bed is the common heritage of mankind they believe that the ocean belongs to everyone the common heritage concept includes.

a number of basic ideas the 1st idea is that. it's an area over which no single state can claim sovereignty and it has to be administered for the benefit of all mankind. the seabed all 14 years the tosca distributing witches that are not in the sovereign areas of national states if a country or company makes a profit from mining minerals the i s a ensures that poor countries and countries without coastal borders receive a share. when founding the i s a states agreed to make environmental regulations as strict as possible for deep sea mining in international waters because no one knows its effect on the merits of the ecosystem.

so the i.r. say has no standing in the continental shelf commission it's not an observer to the commission it has no right to object to a recommendation of the commission. the commission's recommendations go only to the coastal state that is making the submission and not to anybody else. the ocean compass ever 360000000 square kilometers mostly quarters of the earth's surface. and. over 40 percent of this area has been assigned to deal continental shelves. claims on expanded geological continental shelves make up another 10 percent of the ocean. it is now

projected that around 57 percent of the oceans will eventually be under the control of the coastal states. in the year 2000 and that's the latest set of figures that we have the international seabed authority which is based in jamaica they came up with an estimate as they saw that governments were starting to work through this more recent component for a lot of the sea for the extended continental shelf they have a figure just just below $12000.00 us trillion dollars is the in-situ estimate of seabed resources in the expanded continental shelves. estimates about the quantity of natural resources buried in the seabed are highly speculative but if the figure of $12000.00 trillion us dollars is right it would be enough to if we person on earth a check for one and

a half $1000000.00. for this is one of the country's leading the charge to claim a piece of the pie but like current nothing has a leg up over many other states a colonial past. please leave. blues. in a realm of more don't you like say are they flee she. do or do. not want to feel at least one of. the are all. well out. of the thanks to its colonial past france administers islands in almost every ocean of the world now it stands to gain substantial maritime territory in

each. currently france has 11 claims pending at the continental shelf commission. says it is on t.v. . it is. directed and written to do not print says is. different. this is such a. on the tour de. france has claimed territories amounting to some 12000000 square kilometers around 20 times the size of continental farms if the claims are. it will become the world's

2nd largest maritime nation its sovereign wide stretching over an area of the ocean almost as large as the entire arctic less yachts also the ferry. bar a little him all the deal limo and bulldog. bus a good. leader of our political. idiot could do just remodel a bit more now because i do security doing it don't drive or. duplicate some of the predict not pass up class.

which is going to switch don't have a city dish or to your. own at your daily look at the courts not bad or last days do put in these suits you shall see they go off or send decision t. o. . s. to the pattern also that there's the down to the point. that the want you shall see . foresee any. difficult. the sort of grew to want their machine are better may i meet our. don't walk away just gotta do some unity bus was shocked it is a boat different base support for sunni shock even. when

a boarding is you also when you see forces not best. served up or didn't see 4 sets up off a false credit. my lens would present a crucial trump card in the battle to control the world's oceans it's all about geometry because islands are surrounded by water there so for interesting extends around them in a circle even if an island were just a small block its merits or inside would be larger than germany. if a group of islands forms and i'll keep a common base line around the entire cluster violence is used to calculate the

maritime territory. this man is japan's hope in the race to claim the won't oceans he cracked the genetic code of a life form the could help japan i'd say 400000 square kilometers to its territory . is a geoscientist in the university of tokyo he specializes in cold. isms that display characteristics of both animals and plants. going to the mall all of them up and it's ok with a lot they did it quite got up and he was ill step we all. yet kayani has delved further into their biology into the secret of their reproduction and found a method for breeding them on a large scale. aussies on the go to the mall. at the bottom of it it's akin

to get out of the often this is a car that has emerged out of the other numerous. mass produced coals $60000.00 tiny coal babies are being artificially bred to farm on a small island off the coast of okinawa but for won't hurt has. been looking at all wish him a is located 1700 kilometers south of tokyo it is a small cold matter during high tide he clears the surface by a mere centimeters japan regards it as an island but the existence of a q notorious under threat it. takes journey and i see him in ga and he just said

it's a matter of yourself with a lot of us going to the mall it's one of the. so you kenya yes. japan has decided that kinda true or you must not punish its maritime area which presents a massive territorial expansion bringing with it so when whites over fish and other natural resources. to get. them. there. and so you begin to hide that. nothing's. in. all. this territory be lost if the leave disappears. coals being used to save the assholes thousands of them have been shipped to

a canoe taurine to preserve the we've been making those launches possible a pilot project on an island to taiwan is studying what might one day look like things to coles. soon accounted for it could become over we'll islands like the pilot project. which consists entirely of cargo. pants whistles fulness is not being welcomed by everyone however it's you maritime claims of tensions with his powerful neighbor china which itself is currently involved in island territory disputes with a horde of countries. as states attempts to extend their maritime zones as far as possible many international conflicts have arisen. require.

in the south china sea 8 countries are fighting for oil reserves valued to $100000000000.00. there is no part of the world that is safer than others in other words with 53 percent of all maritime boundaries within the easier. we're seeing conflicts raising up to volatile levels driven predominantly by resource development for the off shore typically will end up having a coastal frontage area that looks like this and let's say that we have a land boundary we're country a is sitting here and country b. of sitting here back in the seventy's when we were moving from oil and gas exploration on land to the marine area they may have negotiated a provisional boundary that sort of allowed them for country

a to issue offshore oil and gas blocks and country b. and let's say in a so in a more recent scenario an extremely large discovery is made and let's say in the neighboring country country b. then all of a sudden size we'd like to have some of that so they are starting to propose new boundaries as this initial line was not even a modern day accepted boundary line. have become contestants territories the well. everyone wants a piece of the design new boundaries of being tooling for to finding no piece which is powerful industries only move in the deep sea no one can predict the consequences of this industrialization of the world's pollution is. there the consequences of a whiff aleutian that began years ago and has mostly gone unnoticed the ocean is

being defined you don't like and. you also have to realize that the oceans are future so we need to have some way of. deciding who is responsible for walk and where and when. so. at this point in time this is maybe not the ideal solution but this is this rouge and that was created with the convention. the world's oceans flow more than its continents bill with a cohesive ecological system a sensitive continuum in which was happens to one area can affect all of the office. it is now up to the world's nations whether they would take responsibility for their new unity a quiet maritime territories. corruption
