Abstract [eng] The article deals with the regulation of maritime zones in the Baltic Sea States and in this context the regulation in lithuania is being assessed. Attention in being drawn to the commonness of the problems and challenges of the Baltic Sea States as bordering a semi-enclosed sea, as well as importance of their cooperation and possible similarities of the regula­tion in national levels. the legal analysis allows the author to identify twofold regulation: “zone-based”, where each maritime zone is defined and its legal regime established in separate specific laws, and “field-based” (“topic-based”), where the provisions on the different aspects of the legal regime of maritime zones are incorporated in the laws of others fields. Notice is taken to the fact that nearly all Baltic Sea States, except Lithuania, have chosen zone-based regulation of maritime zones, although in some of them there are also marks of field-based regulation. Zone-based regulation provides for a greater oppor­tunity to ensure a systematic, integrated, exhaustive and detail regulation of the legal regime of maritime zones. As in Lithuania there are no special laws designated for different maritime zones, separate provisions on the legal regime of maritime zones are incorporated in the legal acts of other fields. Such regulation is considered by the author as not exhaustive and therefore she expresses opinion suggesting considering a need of enacting a separate underlying law that would concretize the legal regime of the Lithuanian maritime zones and fill in gaps or a possibility of otherwise improving current regulation by supplementing or revising existing legislation.
