Maritime Boundary Agreements

Maritime Boundary Agreements are treaties between countries that define their rights and responsibilities over ocean areas. These agreements determine where one country's sea territory ends and another's begins, which is crucial for managing resources like fishing, oil, and gas. They help prevent conflicts by clarifying who can explore and exploit marine resources in overlapping areas. By establishing clear boundaries, countries can cooperate on environmental protection and maritime safety, promoting peaceful relations and sustainable use of ocean resources.
