Abstract :
Establishing marine boundaries can be a daunting exercise. Where there is no feasibility or practicality to establishing a physical boundary, the establishment of a reproducible and legally binding boundary holds value. In areas where making physical observations is impractical, boundaries along the earth´s ellipsoid can serve a similar purpose.
