Maritime Boundary Treaty

A Maritime Boundary Treaty is an agreement between countries that defines the limits of their territorial waters and exclusive economic zones (EEZs) in the ocean. This treaty clarifies where one country's rights and responsibilities end and another's begin, helping to prevent disputes over fishing, navigation, and resource extraction. By establishing clear boundaries, it promotes peaceful coexistence, sustainable use of marine resources, and cooperation between nations. These treaties are important for maintaining maritime order and ensuring both countries can utilize ocean resources fairly and securely.
