In both its ancient and current forms, it represents a foundation of rules and solutions utilized by States with coastal borders to impose maritime controls on marine waters. This Law of the Sea has almost wholly determined the current structure of administrative and legal divisions traced on the waters by governments and certain organizations. In this exercise, the concept of "marine spaces", and especially of "marine spaces" to which Law of the Sea is applicable, has been essential. A very large portion of governments' rights to act on the surface and beneath the seas depends on these spaces (section 1.2), and, most often, what is done with resources located in the seas (living or mineral resources) is also a result of them (section 1.3). The link between these two aspects must be explained, as they are increasingly intertwined. It is a transformation that involves considerable concerns regarding marine resources. %S Oceanography and Marine Biology. Seas and Oceans %$ 114 ; 040 ; 036 ; 021
