The maritime border between France and St. Pierre Island and Mikelon Island (Newfoundland Coast) and Canada has long been the focus of discussions between the two countries. In the latter half of the 20th century, as the countries expanded the territory boundaries at the first 12 nautical miles (22 km) and then 200 nautical miles (370 km), these assertions began to overlap and a maritime boundary was needed. In 1989, Canada and France submitted border problems to the International Arbitration Court. In 1992, the court provided 24 km (44 km) of exclusive economic zones and a corridor of 200 km (370 km) long and 10.5 km (19.4 km) wide corridor to France, the international waters (total area 3,607 Square feet). Nmi (12,370 square kilometers) This is far below the French requirement, leading to a reduction in the quota of fish that caused great dissatisfaction among the fishermen of the island until a joint management agreement was concluded in 1994.

Maritime border areas are another important issue in conflict areas. In the case of Guatemala, the coastline covers roughly 400 km, 12 nautical miles (nm) of territorial waters, 200 nautical miles of exclusive economic zones and a depth of 200 m or continental shelf detection depth. Guatemala has consistently maintained or extended routes to the Caribbean during past and present negotiations, but the reasons for compromising maritime roads are Belize, Guatemala and Honduras adjacent to countries that share coastlines. As mentioned earlier, the two countries have similar nature (geological) characteristics, so Belize's oil discovery will be a welcome element. Therefore, it is essential to settle the border dispute by drawing the waters of each country.
