This book explores interfaces between land and sea and their
geostrategic, ecological, urban, productive, indigenous, legal,
historical, and artistic dimensions. The oceans, comprising two-thirds
of the earth's surface, were initially utilised mainly for
transportation and fishing. Today they serve diverse purposes such as
supplying energy, freshwater, mineral resources, supporting leisure
activities, and providing habitat. Additionally, the UN set up the
first international agreement establishing Marine Protection Areas for
a third of the sea to mitigate the growing use and exploitation. The
more interest in oceans' territories increases, the more the question
arises about the beneficial evolution of their physical and legal
boundaries. What innovative amphibious concepts can be developed for
the edge of the sea? The book pushes the boundaries of current
knowledge to provide a deeper insight into the upcoming challenges and
opportunities, makingit easier to apply the best strategies for a
healthy future for both the ocean and humanity.
