Maritime boundaries and ocean resources
International maritime boundaries have become a major issue in international politics with the increasing exploitation of maritime resources, including mineral extraction from the sea bed, and the associated exstention of territorial waters and zones of exclusive economic activity. This book examines this important international problem. It considers the growth in the exploration of marine resources. It examines particular boundary disputes in different parts of the world and discusses the implications for international law, international politics and maritime activity and management. Contents. Antarctic maritime boundary problems; the law of the sea and the mediterranean; historical geography and the world court line of delimitation across the Gulf of Maine; maritime boundary delimitation worldwide: the current state of play; technical delimitation problems in the Mediterranean Sea; offshore boundaries and mineral resources; maritime boundaries and the emerging regional bases of world ocean management; recent delimitation decisions and trends in international law; maritime boundary problems in the Barents Sea; local government boundaries in U.K. coastal areas.
