Legal planning on high seas in an International Rule of Law: Scientific evidence of plastic micro-particles contamination and climate change to genetic resources
The contamination of plastic micro-particles has recently been considered relevant for regulation. It is of recent date. The point is that none of them has contemplated the zoning of genetic resources from the legal point of view, but it is not an idea without history. The Exclusive Economic Zone and the Territorial Sea were in their origins ideas without legal norms. Zoning, in addition, would imply physical impossibility of maritime transport both surface and deep, in areas where it is not contemplated but the protection of flora and fauna, as well as microorganisms. Zoning does not replace, however, cleaning of the sea and of living beings in it, as well as its genetic elements in front of the indicated contamination affecting to us all or being able to affect us.
