Maritime Studies is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the study of the world’s oceans, seas, and waterways, and the various activities associated with them, including shipping, navigation, marine resource management, and the environmental impacts of maritime operations. It encompasses topics such as maritime law, oceanography, marine engineering, maritime history, and the social and economic implications of maritime activities. The field seeks to understand the complex interactions between human systems and marine environments and addresses issues related to maritime trade, ecology, security, and the governance of marine resources and space. Maritime Studies attracts professionals and scholars from various disciplines, including environmental science, economics, law, and engineering, and is essential for informing policy and practice in maritime industries and conservation efforts.
