gobierno de los mares

Spanish to English Other Fisheries
se trata de un artículo sobre sustentabilidad pesquera.
En una de sus partes dice:

¿Cómo puedo traducir "gobierno de los mares"?
Muchas gracias

Objection by chica nueva The use of 'maritime' goes beyond the definitions cited by this colleague. There is a large body of 'maritime law' (over 1,040,000 hits) and 460,000 hits for 'maritime governance'.

[a better] governance/control/management of the waterways

seas/waterways/oceans/depending on context
Peer comment(s):

neutral Jaime Hyland : seas is fine "waterways" will always be wrong. "Waterways" refers to rivers and canals. "Governance of he seas" would be ok, so might "International/Global marine management".
