Abstract

Marine areas beyond national jurisdiction cover approximately 40 per cent of the earth's surface, 64 per cent of the ocean surface and 95 per cent of its volume. Technically, these are the areas of the high seas water column seawards of the outer limit of coastal states' exclusive economic zones and all those areas of the seabed beyond the edge of coastal states' continental margins.
