Discussion
Assertion (A): International agreements are needed for the management of shared seas.
Reason (R): Physical processes cross national boundaries without regard.
Answer: D
Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Both are true and the reason gives the necessity. Sediment, water, pollutants and fish stocks move across national boundaries without regard to them, so a decision taken in one country affects the coasts of its neighbours. Managing a shared sea therefore requires agreement between the states around it - which is why regional sea conventions exist and why they are so difficult to negotiate.
