Marinerelated

Marinerelated is a broad descriptor used to identify topics, objects, and activities that pertain to the sea, seafaring, and maritime affairs. It encompasses aspects of navigation, shipping, offshore industries, and coastal environments, as well as the culture and history of sailors. As an umbrella term, it is often used in classifications, metadata, and tagging to group content with a common maritime focus.

Core areas include navigation and charting, vessel operations and safety, shipbuilding and repair, port and harbor services, maritime law and policy, and environmental management of marine resources. Scientific and technical dimensions cover oceanography, marine meteorology, hydrography, fisheries, offshore energy, and maritime logistics. The term also applies to educational programs, museums, journalism, and documentation that relate to seafaring life and maritime industries.

In information systems, marinerelated is frequently used as a keyword or category. Spelling variations exist, with "marine-related" or "maritime-related" more common in general prose; marinerelated tends to appear in tags, databases, or domain names. The concept emphasizes the maritime connection rather than a specific country or industry.
