Dive into the complex world of international ocean law with Dr. Mohammed Al Ashimi as he breaks down the legal frameworks that govern 71% of our planet. Explore the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and discover why Part 12—the section on marine environment protection—has become more critical than ever as we face unprecedented ocean crises.

Learn how international tribunals like ITLOS are working to enforce marine protection, while coastal communities in the Global South struggle with the real-world impacts of weak governance. Dr. Al Ashimi reveals the urgent need to align ocean law with climate goals and strengthen institutional frameworks that can actually protect our marine resources.

From digital enforcement tools to the intersection of legal norms and cutting-edge technology, this episode exposes both the promise and limitations of current ocean governance. Discover why international cooperation isn't just diplomatic nicety—it's an existential necessity for ocean survival, and how legal innovation could be the key to turning the tide on marine destruction.

Perfect for law students, policy makers, and anyone who wants to understand the legal battle for our planet's blue heart.
