A quick definition of sea law:

Sea law is a set of rules that governs everything related to ships, boats, and other vessels that travel on water. It includes laws about how people and things can be transported on water, how accidents and injuries are handled, and how disputes are resolved. Sea law is also known as maritime law or admiralty law.

A more thorough explanation:

Sea law, also known as maritime law or admiralty law, is the body of law that governs marine commerce and navigation, as well as the carriage of people and goods at sea. It also covers legal issues related to marine affairs in general, such as contract, tort, and workers' compensation claims.

For example, if a cargo ship is damaged during a storm, sea law would determine who is responsible for the damages and how much compensation should be paid. Similarly, if a worker is injured while working on a ship, sea law would determine their rights to compensation and medical care.

Sea law is important because it helps to ensure that maritime activities are conducted safely and fairly, and that disputes are resolved in a just and efficient manner.
