The Prospects and Challenges before Bangladesh in Exploring and Exploiting Marine Resources: An Economic and Legal Study ()
Abstract
Bangladesh
is a small country comprising of approximately 147,570 sq. kilometres land
territory. But it is an overpopulated country having more than 16 crore
citizens. With the boost of population Bangladesh will gradually turn its
attention to rich marine resources for food and other needs of its people. It
is reported by scientists that resources on sea are much more profile those on
land. Since our land-resources are being exhausted gradually, it will be
necessary for Bangladesh to depend increasingly on sea resources. This study is
intended to highlight the economic benefit may be gained by Bangladesh from its
maritime zones as well as focus on the challenges that Bangladesh has to face
in achieving the benefit. It is also aimed to make some recommendations how the
government of Bangladesh can overcome those challenges.
