out in the middle of the ocean you can
find many things
idyllic islands glorious sunrises a boy
left adrift in a boat with only a tiger
for company on the endless seascape and
not much in the way of laws but after
three weeks of starving belly and thirst
that pistols start to have a real
friendly welcome to watchmojo.com and
avast as we set course for five facts
about international waters
batten down the hatches me hearties and
that’s all the pirate lingo I can handle
right now
ah mr. chair B I said aye
number five pirate radio from
international waters brought Brit Rock
to Brits let’s have a tune I’m sick of
his silence
there’s a lot of unsavory and even
criminal activity that goes on in
international waters thanks to a lack of
government control but sometimes
something beautiful comes out of it
during the 1960’s in the United Kingdom
intrepid DJs would take their radio
stations aboard small boats off the
British coast and broadcast from
international waters can’t close us down
were pirates oh so we’re sitting out
here in the middle of the friggin ocean
well in the 1960s the out-of-touch BBC
had a total monopoly on radio
broadcasting in the UK the results in
the decade of the Rolling Stones the WHO
and the Beatles British radio audiences
were starved for good music enter pirate
radio the stiff upper-lip BBC stations
were suddenly in serious competition and
forced to change thanks to radio
Coraline London wonderful and others who
were willing to bring jazz rock reggae
and eventually hip-hop and R&B to
British airwaves number four not all
international waters are oceans before
the age of international diplomacy
landlocked countries fought bloody Wars
to access the sea even today 48
countries are landlocked and need a way
of reaching the ocean in Europe the
Danube River is a designated
international waterway used by
landlocked Austria Hungary Moldova
Serbia and Slovakia so they can get to
the Black Sea it wasn’t always this way
before international agreements on river
sharing the Danube was a tool of war and
Empire used by the Romans Turks
Austrians and even the Nazis today
Europe’s second-longest River is an
example of peace and shared
responsibility
hooray for international peace and order
and that’s probably the only example of
the rule of law and successful
international cooperation in this
episode
number three marine parks might be the
key to peace on the high seas and we’re
not talking about marine land here over
in the South China Sea dispute six
nations are striving to control the same
area of international waters and it
could get ugly but what if nobody took
over the South China Sea and everyone
agreed to stay out that means no
exploring for oil no naval exercises at
no military bases this would create a
massive patch of ocean where fish
populations can rebound and coral reefs
can regrow the idea dates back to marine
biologist John McManus in the early 90s
he argues that having a safe breeding
ground for fish like this would mean a
bigger catch in the surrounding areas
providing more fish for Southeast Asia
now that’s an idea less war more food
number two
climate change is redefining
international waters new areas of
navigable ocean are opening up on the
top of the world and there is no
agreement on what to do about it because
of accelerating climate change the
Arctic Ocean is expected to be ice-free
every summer as early as 2020 and it’s
not just scientists who are noticing oil
and mining companies are drooling at the
prospect of seabed drilling and mining
governments of northern countries not to
mention their militaries are very
interested in who will control drilling
fishing and shipping rights through the
Arctic even Canada has caught up in the
controversy over the thawing of the
Arctic and the Northwest Passage the
Canadian government sees the waters of
the Northwest Territory and Nunavut as
Canadian though the rest of the world
disagrees the ice may be thawing the
tensions certainly are not number one
garbage and pirates are no one’s
responsibility I’m sorry
the Nova pirates work
I’m still a real thing you know you’re
in a bad neighborhood when criminals
roam the streets and the garbage never
gets picked up the ocean is pretty much
the worst neighborhood ever remember the
point of international waters
is that anyone can use them and
practically nobody is responsible for
them take garbage because of the
currents of the ocean garbage from boats
and runoff from land is carried in a
huge circular pattern called a gyre the
Pacific Garbage Patch is a raft of
despair the size of Texas
choking unlucky animals passing through
if that wasn’t bad enough
piracy still continues in international
waters though modern pirates don’t wear
tricorn hats and multiple scarves well
maybe they would if they’re affecting
some steampunk motif but it’s kind of
gaudy anyway technically international
law says that any country can stop and
punish pirates and many militaries do
exactly that regularly however in a lot
of ways it’s one of those situations
where since everybody’s responsible
nobody takes full responsibility at
executes most countries are reticent to
prosecute and imprison pirates so they
often just take their gyroscope
blunderbusses and Victorian sword canes
or whatever
steampunk weapons they have on them and
set them free you’re done hang on planks
now I’m done so do you think the high
seas are a place of limitless adventure
and opportunity or you landlubbers who’d
rather not get their feet wet in the
anarchy of international waters are you
