Mare Amoris

A new vision of the ocean. It was the concept of the ocean as a global commons, free for everyone-first formulated by Hugo Grotius in his 1609 treatise, Mare Liberum-that stimulated a free global market. Today, the free market and the free ocean both suffer from rigorous, exploitive use. A new concept of how to relate to the ocean could transform the global economy and global politics.
