Topic Sentence
You might think laws are just for land, but laws are made for the oceans and seas as well.
Prediction : Ocean Rules
No single country owns the seas and oceans of the world. Therefore, nations of the world have had to work together to agree on how to deal with ships, crews, cargoes, ship passangers, fishing, and exploration when a problem arises on the high seas. This kind of law is known as maritime law. Maritime law has existed a long time--it dates back to the age of the Roman empire. Today some countries, likke the United States and Great Britain, have their own maritime laws that ggovern their citizen's use of the high seas. The United Nations is the world organization that works to develop and enforce, or carry out, maritime laws worldwide. However, not at all nations agree with the United Nations' ideas on how to govern the oceans and seas.
My prediction was : True False Somewhere in between
