Main question is that the UN's ahead Challenges in the creation and management of Marine Protected Areas on the High Seas? Findings of this study indicate that the achievement of this goal requires the prediction of effective enforcement mechanisms and the obligation of all governments and the International Maritime Organization, Regional Fisheries Management Organizations and the International Seabed Authority to identify, implement and adhere to constraints governing of Marine Protected Areas on the High Seas. However, the requirement and coordination between different parts of the law of the seas faces challenges that are rooted in dispersed, different, and inconsistent mechanisms. Establishing a consensus and balance between ahead capacities and covering it in High Seas requires a present missing’ serious will and consensus.
