Abstract

Climate change is altering the ocean temperatures and current around the world. Although it is not clear how different regions of the earth will be affected by this change, coastal communities are suffering from impacts associated with sea level rise and stronger storms. It has been recognized, since the first international concern about climate change, that sea level rise will have implications for the physical and legal status of the sea and maritime zones. Some parts of the world are disappearing or reappearing, and consequently base points and baselines are also affected. States would seek to reinforce them and preserve their coastline, islands, and maritime zones by constructing shoreline protection and sea defenses. Some theories have been developed to adapt the sea level rise with the legal issues.
