2010 – 2011 Rational Statement ; The Ocean and Islands Programme provides applied ocean, island and coastal geoscience services to support countries to govern and develop their natural resources,increase their resilience to hazards and facilitates data based approaches to adaptation. These vital

technical services will be strategically deployed in response to specific Member requests to assist in thedevelopment, management and monitoring of natural resources and unique island environmental

systems and processes.

enduring solutions to PIC

maritime boundaries.

•At this time only 3 PICs have declared their outer 200nautical mile zones and 4 havedeclared their archipelagic baselines. Less than half of the region’s shared boundariesare subject to treaty (21 of 48).•The development of maritime boundary solutions is a technical / legal / diplomaticprocess with multiple stakeholders – all components must equally interact to produceenduring solutions.

•SOPAC and our technical partners (Geoscience Australia, Commonwealth Secretariat& UNEP GRID Arandal) have built excellent capacity in 8 PIC during our ECS work. Weare capitalising on this technical capacity to progress EEZ boundary development,however there is often a lack of broader Govt. support and awareness to progress thiswork effectively.•Enduring boundary solutions must be developed in a way to serve multiple needs, not

only fisheries management, e.g. deep sea minerals development; security, biodiversity,conservation, research, transport, vessel monitoring, support ECS claims, etc.•

The way ahead ……….

•Recognise that successful boundary development must be a partnership betweenSOPAC, our technical partners and PIC’s - process must be country lead.•The processes is technical, legal and diplomatic - it requires all components toproduce enduring and successful solutions.•Effective in-country progress requires a “multi-stakeholder” approach where all

relevant parties have a clear understanding of the status, obstacles and requirementsto progress towards baseline and boundary declaration - this is not just a DSM or fisheries issue.•The SPC SOPAC Division & technical partners welcomed FFA into the existingboundaries development partnership this year and this brings new opportunities.

•If you would like to discuss the specific status of your country’s maritimeboundaries please come speak to Emily and/or myself – anytime!
