A 3D model of the different actors and regulatory instruments aiming at protecting the Baltic Sea has been developed by Professor Viljam Engström, Carolina Grönberg, Sukrit Pant, and Jose Teixeira. Please visit the website for more information about the project and to access the 3D model.

The Royal Naval Society of Sweden (sv: Kunglia Örlogsmannasällskapet) did a podcast with professor Henrik Ringbom from ÅAU and Marie Jacobsson (honorary member of the Royal Naval Society of Sweden, associate professor in public international law, and former legal advisor for the Swedish Department of Foreign Affairs) about the current threats in the marine environment.
In the podcast, they discuss the rights, obligations, and possibilities maritime law gives states to protect maritime infrastructure, how the seas are divided into different zones, and what implications that has, legally speaking.
You can listen to the podcast (in Swedish) here: Havsrätten och de moderna hoten – Kungl. Örlogsmannasällskapet
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is mentioned throughout the episode. The complete text of UNCLOS is available here.
