Will International Ocean Laws Impact the New Navy Strategy
2007
Masley, Michael C | Jr
Operational level planning includes use of environmental and hydrographic information. United States national and military strategies, now focused on regional and littoral contingencies, dictate update and/or development of a more expansive bank of such reference information to support operational planning. The comprehensive 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is about to come into force which codifies, amongst many areas, coastal state rights in controlling activities in their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ), including Marine Scientific Research (MSR). A complex issue has emerged linking the new international ocean laws and U.S. national and military strategies and policies. Since hydrographic research (HS) is not recognized by the 1982 Convention, and the United States is not acceding to the 1982 Convention, coastal states are pressuring and/or challenging the United States by limiting or denying American hydrographic activities within the coastal state's which now include EEZs. U.S. national and U.S. Navy hydrographic policies have been promulgated, but are somewhat disjointed, requiring a more unified effort.
