The Impact of Digitalisation on the Development of the Law of the Sea

Abstract This article discusses the application of satellite remote sensing, artificial intelligence and unmanned systems in marine law enforcement and resource management, pointing out that although they enhance efficiency, they raise issues such as data sovereignty and legal gaps. To address the challenges, it is necessary to create and improve the digital governance regulations of the law of the sea by promoting data sharing, standard harmonisation and multilateral cooperation, with the aim to construct an inclusive and fair global ocean digital governance system.
