Abstract

The contemporary maritime domain is increasingly recognized as a geopolitical and economic space, but also as an environment intertwined with human, social, ecological, and governance systems ashore. The United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR 2024) report argues that maritime security has evolved from a narrow naval and state-centered concern into a multidimensional issue embedded in global human security. Likewise, (Piegon, 2025) considers maritime crimes, such as piracy, smuggling, and trafficking as extensions of terrestrial criminal networks rooted in exclusion and inequality. In the Gulf of Guinea, for instance, onshore unemployment and corruption enable recruitment into maritime criminal operations. (Fabinyi and others 2025), suggest that a more holistic approach to maritime security is needed that encompasses state, economic, human and environmental security to make maritime security more equitable, sustainable and responsive to contemporary social and environmental challenges.
