Indonesian waters

Indonesia's marine waters can be distinguished three kinds:a. Territorial Sea Zone, is an imaginary line within 12 nautical miles from the baseline to the high seas. If there are two or more countries to master the ocean, while the width of the ocean is less than 24 nautical miles, then pull the line in the same territory far from the respective countries. The sea that lies between the lines of the territorial boundary called the territorial sea. The sea is next to the sea is called internal baseline. Base line is an imaginary line connecting points of the ends of the island. A fully sovereign state has the right to the territorial sea, but it has its duty to provide traffic flow peacefully shipping both above and below sea level. The announcement of the government's territorial waters Indonesia issued on December 13, 1957 the famous Declaration Djuanda and then amplified by Act 4 Prp. 1960.b. Continental Shelf Zone, is geologically seabed morphology and is a continuation of a continent (continent). Sea depths less than 150 meters. Indonesia lies in two continental shelf, the continental shelf continental shelf of Asia and Australia. The limit of the continental shelf is measured from the base line, which is the most distant 200 nautical miles. If there are two or more countries to master the seas above continental shelf, the frontiers drawn equidistant from baseline in each country. For example, in the Malacca Strait, continental shelf boundary coincides with the territorial sea, because the distance between the two countries in which it is less than 24 nautical miles. In the Malacca Strait north, the continental shelf boundary between Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia met near the coordinate point 98 ° E and 6 ° N. Within the boundaries of the continental shelf, Indonesia has the authority to utilize the natural resources that exist in it, with the obligation to provide a flow of innocent passage cruise. Notice on the continental shelf boundary was issued by the Government of Indonesia on 17 February 1969.c. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), is a sea lane width 200 nautical miles to the open sea is measured from the baseline. In the exclusive economic zone, Indonesia got the first opportunity in exploiting marine resources. In the exclusive economic zone of freedom cruise and cabling and pipes under the sea continues to be recognized in accordance with the principles of International Law of the Sea, the boundary of the continental shelf and exclusive economic zone boundary between the two neighboring countries overlap, then set the line- line connecting points equidistant from baseline between the two countries as a limit.
