In the MSP Challenge, each of these areas is developed by one team. However, joint plans, overlapping more than one local authority area, are possible if the affected local authorities approve the plan. This is the equivalent of the [[EEZ|Exclusive Economic Zones]] in other MSP editions. | In the MSP Challenge, each of these areas is developed by one team.

There is a small number of areas in the Adriatic Sea that are disputed, caused by conflicting territorial claims of countries like Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. The disputes not only concern maritime borders and fishing rights but also revolve around access to international waters and economic interests. In the last decade, several court decisions have been made by both countries, but finding a solution that suits both parties proves to be difficult. In the game, the disputed area is left unassigned and any plan in this areas needs approval from all countries. | |||

=Eastern Mediterranean Sea= | |||
In the Eastern Mediterranean, there is continuous conflict as Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Palestine, and Libya dispute over various territorial claims and maritime boundaries. These disagreements go beyond basic boundaries and extend to the allocation of valuable resources such as gas reserves, contributing to heightened tensions within the region. Despite efforts to negotiate and mediate, finding a mutually acceptable resolution remains a significant challenge, perpetuating a cycle of diplomatic impasse and geopolitical uncertainty. | |||

Adapted from Flanders Marine Institute (2019). Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase: Maritime Boundaries and Exclusive Economic Zones (200NM), version 11. Available online at https://www.marineregions.org/. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14284/386/ | |||
===Original Title=== | |||
Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase, version 11 | |||
===Description=== | |||
"Despite the strategic significance of EEZs, a standard georeferenced product with maritime boundaries was not available at the global level (Claus et. al, 2014), until it was developed and made available by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in 2006 (Deckers and Vanden Berghe, 2006). | |||
The product developed at VLIZ consisted of two GIS layers providing both the maritime boundaries (lines) and the EEZs (polygons). The layers were regularly updated with 8 consecutive versions published between 2006 and 2014. Version 9 was launched by the VLIZ-hosted portal Marineregions.org in October 2016: Straight and archipelagic baselines were included, together with remaining areas defined by UNCLOS: internal and archipelagic waters, territorial seas and contiguous zones. Version 10 (2018) fixes known issues, updated treaties or minor fixes. For version 11 (2019) UN country codes were included in the EEZ attribute table. The High Seas as defined by UNCLOS was added in 2020.." (Retrieved from https://www.vliz.be/en/imis?dasid=6315&doiid=382 on 2024-12-04). | |||

===Methodology=== | |||
The dataset was clipped to the area of interest, merged boundaries belonging to the same country in different seas, removed subtractive polygons and adjusted to fit the countries' layer without overlaps or gaps.<headertabs/> | |||
