Transforming the ocean law by requirement of the marine environment conservation The protection of the marine environment is the objective of the law of the ocean, in its international, regional and national dimensions. It ensures the coherence of a complex law of marine areas and maritime activities. Conservation of marine biodiversity has become an emergency. The exploitation of the seabed, the development of new activities at sea must be conditioned by this same requirement. Human Sea – “It’s necessary to make the Sea more human. The development of human activities at sea - What legal framework?” The European research program, ERC Advanced Grant n° 340770 in 2013, directed by professor Patrick CHAUMETTE, University of Nantes, deals with technological developments and their consequences on maritime activities, on the Law of the Sea and Maritime Law.
