Scenarios about 'maritime regulations'
Maritime regulations encompass the laws, standards, and agreements governing activities on oceans, seas, and navigable waters, including shipping, fishing, environmental protection, and safety protocols. These rules have evolved from early naval customs into complex international frameworks like the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, shaping trade routes, territorial claims, and naval warfare throughout history. In alternate history scenarios, different maritime regulatory regimes could dramatically alter patterns of colonization, trade dominance, and the development of naval technologies.
