Following the entry into force of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1994, more and more states are seeking to define the limits of their zones of maritime jurisdiction and any maritime boundaries that need to be agreed with their neighbours.
Written by one of the world's most experienced hydrographers, this expert Briefing offers a clear and concise guide to the key technical issues associated with maritime boundary delimitation. Topics covered include: zones of jurisdiction; charts, basepoints and baselines; map and chart projections; geodetic and tidal datums; methods of boundary determination; and matters arising from juridical decisions, such as relevant area and proportionality, coastal configuration, the relationship between the continental shelf and EEZ, and the importance of geological, geomorphological and economic factors.
