Notable omissions[edit]

1824 and 1825 treaties re 54-40, Russia with UK/US
Oregon Treaty created main Maritime boundary between BC and Wash
San Juans dispute, Treaty of Washington (1871) resolved vagueness of Oregon Treaty
1903 Alaska boundary settlement - established A-B Line, t he Maritime boundary in the Dixon Entrance and also boundary between various islands
the Bering Sea Arbitration re boundaries/ jurisdiction in the Bering Sea.

There's more....right now I'm busy removing all the flag-junk which cluttered this page ridiculously. Just because a country's name is mentioend doesn't mean its flag has to be waved.....Skookum1 (talk) 21:34, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I see no one else has taken interest in this in the four year since I posted it; I'll add them all soon/later.Skookum1 (talk) 03:27, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Should be arranged by ocean/sea, not continent[edit]

Some entries wind up being on the page twice, e.g. US-USSR treaties....and I'm uncomfortable seeing Israel, Jordan and Yemen in an "Asia" section, or to see Italy, Malta and Cyprus show up on the "Africa" section. It makes more sense to have divisions by ocean - e.g. by Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, North Pacific, South Pacific, Caribbean, South Atlantic, North Atlantic, Baltic Sea and so on.22:11, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Brooks (away from a shore) do not play a role in maritime boundaries: proposal to remove Dutch-German agreement relating to two brooks[edit]

Why is the 29 Sep 1975 and 24 Nov 1975 agreement between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Federal Republic of Germany, about the boundary course at/in/through/next to two brooks listed here? If my understanding of the Wikipedia article on maritime boundaries is correct, a boundary at/in/through/next to surface waters of rivers and - supposedly - brooks do not constitute a maritime boundary. I propose to remove it from the table.Redav (talk) 15:10, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
