This is from an environmentalist text
La pérdida de biodiversidad -o la degradación de la naturaleza- es el mayor problema global que enfrenta el mundo, incluso por sobre otros más reconocidos como el cambio climático. Y resume un drama que se repite en cada territorio y maritorio de nuestro planeta con más de un 75% de sus tierras alteradas y más de 66% de sus océanos impactadas, lo que incluye nuestro continente Americano, el mayor contenedor de naturaleza y agua existente en el planeta Tierra hoy día.
I understand that "maritorio" is the water equivalente of "teritorio"...but I am not seeing many hits for "maritory"...any ideas? Thanks

marine area
I would probably write 'land and sea area' or 'territory and marine area'. 'Territory and maritory' sounds a bit strange.
This dataset contains information about species of national environmental significance as listed in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Data provided includes:
- species names and threatened status
- indicative occurrence within each state, territory and marine area

Terrestrial and marine protected areas (% of total territorial area)
World Database on Protected Areas ( WDPA ) where the compilation and management is carried out by United Nations Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre ( UNEP-WCMC ) in collaboration with governments, non-governmental organizations, academia and industry.

Terrestrial area includes total land area and inland waters.
Marine areas, also known as territorial seas, are defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as belts of coastal waters extending at most twelve nautical miles from the baseline (usually the mean low-water mark) of a coastal state.

You might find the following information useful:
The term territorial waters is sometimes used informally to refer to any area of water over which a state has jurisdiction, including internal waters, the territorial sea, the contiguous zone, the exclusive economic zone and potentially the continental shelf. In a narrower sense, the term is used as a synonym for the territorial sea.

The total area of a country's/territory's terrestrial protected areas and marine protected areas in territorial waters is divided by the total area of its land areas (including inland waters) and territorial waters to obtain the relative coverage (percentage) of protected areas.

Thank you, Yvonne, though I think David should suggest a different answer. // Well, 'marine environment' includes surface interface and interaction with the atmosphere and with the land seaward of the mean high water mark.
