Maritime Boundary Commission

The Maritime Boundary Commission is a group of experts that helps countries decide the official borders in the sea, such as between islands, coastal states, or countries with overlapping claims. Their role is to analyze geographical, legal, and technical information to establish fair and internationally recognized boundaries. This helps prevent disputes, promotes peaceful cooperation, and supports the sustainable use of marine resources. Essentially, they ensure that countries have clear agreements on where their maritime boundaries lie, facilitating lawful navigation, resource rights, and environmental protection in the oceans.
