Year: 2025 Language: English Author: Maritime Crimes Genre: Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation Edition: Issue 1 / September Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 75 Description: The sea is currently facing major challenges that directly impact climate change and biodiversity, on which the survival of humanity depends, having overexploited terrestrial resources. As a means of encounter and exchange between people and their cultures, the seas and oceans have become the lifeblood of the global economy. As reservoirs of wealth, they are the object of much covetousness. As spaces open to all kinds of confrontation between nations and areas of expansion for all forms of crime, they have acquired an increased geostrategic dimension, much like cyberspace. For these many reasons, in order to protect and enhance these maritime spaces in a sustainable manner, we are committed to providing information that is free from manipulation, based on verified and accurate facts, with the aim of denouncing any criminal action that undermines the integrity of the ocean. As we launch this first edition, I would like to invite you to discover a world that is both fascinating and fundamental: straits. These narrow passages, often unknown to the general public, are nevertheless at the center of the geostrategic, historical, and environmental issues that shape our era. Today, nearly 80% of global trade is transported by sea, and straits such as Hormuz, the Bosphorus, and Malacca carry a crucial share of the energy, goods, and resources that are essential to our societies. Every day, these maritime corridors are at the crossroads of heightened geopolitical tensions, where the security of trade becomes a fragile balance, sometimes under threat. In a global context where ecological transition is imperative, these straits are also sensitive areas, subject to intense environmental pressure. Understanding these issues means recognizing the vital importance of the oceans and their strategic passages in our daily lives, in the global economy, but also in international political stability and the preservation of our blue planet. Our ambition is to offer you, in this new format, a comprehensive and passionate immersion into this complex universe. As a sailor who has traveled the world's seas and been involved for decades in maritime issues and strategies to protect our seas and oceans, I invite you to join us on this journey to decipher together these maritime routes at the heart of the modern world. Welcome aboard this editorial adventure, where each page is an invitation to understand and love even more the maritime world that connects us all.
