Laws of the Sea
The Country that is primarily on the continental shelf has the legal say on who gets to work on the shelf and who gets to explore the waters. The same law goes along with oil rigs and drilling for raw materials in the Gulf of Mexico. Many oil rigs have been decommissioned in the form of either being toppled or slowly being torn down. This is due to the new law to help save the ecology and the climate of the Gulf of Mexico.
