Marine Scientific Research Arctic. Arctic Perspectives on the Law of the Sea Convention

Focusing on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC), this essay highlights often-overlooked aspects that are increasingly significant in today's context. It emphasizes the shift of marine scientific research from academic interest to a vital economic factor, particularly with resources like oil, gas, and fish becoming crucial. The Arctic Ocean's accessibility due to climate change presents new challenges as competing territorial claims arise, underscoring the urgent relevance of LOSC in managing these emerging issues.
