in a partial answer to jesper about neutral zones<br/>
this book indicates 5 or 6 different types of what it calls joint zones<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
misc other notes<br/>
<br/>
it will probably take several more decades before any accurate world map of<br/>
offshore boundaries can be drawn<br/>
<br/>
by 1985 there were 97 executed maritime boundaries<br/>
from a total of perhaps more than 400 potential ones<br/>
<br/>
recent trend of states seeking to establish single maritime boundaries for<br/>
all purposes to a max dist of 200 nm seemed likely to continue<br/>
<br/>
refers to at least 1 island dispute involving more than 3 parties<br/>
<br/>
longest maritime boundary in the world is cadk canada denmark at 2687 km<br/>
<br/>
total length of worlds maritime boundaries estimated at 150 kkm<br/>
<br/>
persian gulf is densest maritime boundary area in the world<br/>
but caribbean & gulf of mexico have one fifth of world absolute total<br/>
<br/>
basically oil exploitation is what drives the boundary formation process<br/>
<br/>
north sea baltic region is by far the worlds most advanced<br/>
<br/>
island sovereignty is most common cause of conflict because until their<br/>
ownership is agreed maritime boundary delimitation is impossible in their<br/>
vicinity<br/>
<br/>
s china sea with gulf of thailand probably possess greatest number of<br/>
potentially serious disputes & hence retarded tripoint determination<br/>
<br/>
under 1982 unclos 36 percent of the ocean is due to be closed or partitioned<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& that was just the cream of chapter 1<br/>
<br/>
still looking forward to chapter 14<br/>
  defining the indefinable<br/>
& chapter 15<br/>
  beyond the bounds<br/>
