Barely 2.8% of all water on Earth is freshwater . Most of it is found in glaciers and pack ice (77%) and in groundwater (22%).the rest, only 1%, forms the watercourses that irrigate valleys and plains. Fresh water or freshwater is any naturally occurring liquid/solid water containing low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids. As it flows down from mountaintops to the ocean, freshwater feeds glaciers, lakes , and rivers . the water evaporates and forms clouds, precipitation from which feeds watercourses. For millions of years, this vast water cycle has created landscapes by carving out valleys, eroding mountains, and changing shorelines . It plays an essential role in the redistribution of water around the planet.

Only 30% of Earth’s surface is exposed land. the rest is covered by a huge body of salt water with a volume of more than 1 billion cubic kilometers: the world ocean. Twice a day, the oceans of the globe rise and fall by several meters. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon , and to a certain extent of the Sun , on our planet. the seas and oceans also move in waves —undulations of the surface of the water generated by the wind. Ocean currents , on the other hand, are movements of huge masses of ocean water along very precise routes.

the interior of our planet, with its extreme pressure and temperature conditions, is still a mysterious place. It is where minerals are created and metamorphosed through processes that span millions of years. the immense plates that form Earth’s crust float on the surface of a mass of partially liquid rock. As these plates collide with each other, they build mountains and open up oceans.

U.S. President Harry S. Truman’s executive order on September 28, 1945, proclaiming that the resources on the continental shelf contiguous to the United States belonged to the United States. This was a radical departure from the existing approach, under which the two basic principles of the law of the sea had been a narrow strip of coastal waters under the exclusive sovereignty of the coastal state and an unregulated area beyond that known as the high seas. The speed at which Truman’s continental shelf concept was recognized through emulation or acquiescence led Sir Hersch Lauterpacht to declare in 1950 that it represented virtually “instant custom.”

Mare Liberum (or The Freedom of the Seas) is a book in Latin on international law written by the Dutch jurist and philosopher Hugo Grotius, first published in 1609. In The Free Sea, Grotius formulated the new principle that the sea was international territory and all nations were free to use it for seafaring trade. The disputation was directed towards the Portuguese Mare clausum policy and their claim of monopoly on the East Indian Trade. Grotius wrote the treatise while being a counsel to the Dutch East India Company over the seizing of the Santa Catarina Portuguese carrack issue. The work was assigned to Grotius by the Zeeland Chamber of the Dutch East India Company in 1608.

minerals, including oil and gas, are among the most important marine resources, while the major uses of the
oceans include the recreation industry, transportation, communications and waste disposal.

STATE CLAIMS IN VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 4 (LOSC ARTICLE 7), Guinea case

IILSS 17th April 2021 No Comments Guinea Guinea-Bissau Guinean coastline maritime boundary north and Tamara Island straight baseline

An egregious breach was committed by Guinea in its Decree of 1964 which purported to establish a single straight baseline of 120 n.m. enclosing its entire coastline (see Fig. 5.14). The Guinean coastline is somewhat indented in localities, but it certainly does not pass muster under any interpretation of the “deeply indented and cut into” language of Article 4 (LOSC Article 7). To view Sene Island in the north and Tamara Island in the south as together constituting an island fringe is also to misapprehend that requirement as it is used in the Convention. The islands have no spatial relationship to one another nor are they within 12 n.m. of the coast. Having failed to meet either geographical test under Article 4(1) (LOSC Article 7(1)), it hardly mattered that the baseline followed the general direction of the coast.
