Who Owns The Ocean?

Listen Monday, Aug. 6, 2007 at 1:23 p.m. in Economy, Politics

We find out why a strange group of bedfellows -- including the Bush administration, environmental groups, the Navy, and oil companies -- say the time has come for America to join 154 other nations and ratify The Law of the Seas Conventions.
