This means 271/512 (52.9%) remains Un-resolved and/or In-Dispute

13 All Coastal States (Countries) Law of the Sea Applications begins with the Territorial Sea Baselines.. All Territorial Sea Baselines (Straight and/or Normal) comes from All Coastline Data Sources for the Coastal State.

14 LOS SUGGESTED DATA SOURCES : Part I United Nation s CLCS Guidelines Suggests ALL LOS Applications begins with ; *Nautical Charts (*basically accepted now to be 1:20,000 to 1: 350,000 scale)

15 LOS SUGGESTED NAUTICAL CHARTS (Small Scale and Large Scale) Scale : 1: 4,000,000 SANHO Chart SAN 0076 Small Scale (1:300,000) Mapping: Basic Coastline Information Accuracy +/- 1000m

16 LOS SUGGESTED DATA SOURCES : Part II Depending on Large Scale Nautical Chart availability. Modern-day Satellite Imagery o aid in Coastline Mapping and in turn aid in the compilation of the Territorial Sea Baseline Mapping for Coastal States

17 LOS SUGGESTED SATELLITE DATA: LANDSAT TM7 000 scale 1:150,000 scale

18 S SUGGESTED SATELLITE DATA: LANDSAT TM7 (14.25m) VS. COMMERCIAL DIGITAL GLOBE (1.0m) Unresolved Maritime Boundary South Africa vs. Namibia Digital Landsat TM7 August : March 5, 29, Digital Digital Globe Digital Globe Globe : September Globe : June 1, 2011 : November : January 27, 21, 14, LTP (Land Terminus Point) Staring Point for Maritime Boundary 1745 meter Discrepancy RESOURCES = ALLUVIAL DIAMONDS US$630,000,000 (2015 Annual Production Estimate)

19 All Coastal States (Countries) Territorial Sea Baselines comes from Coastlines (including all nearshore foreshore legal features (ex. Islands, Islets, Sand spits and/or bars, reefs and rocks ) All Coastline Features must be Mapped accurately and precisely and the United Nations Law of the Sea Guidelines suggests combinations of the following data sources.. i) Official Nautical Charts ii) Satellite Imagery (Landsat TM5 / Landsat TM7 / Landsat TM8) iii) HiRES (Commercial) Satellite Imagery (Quick Bird, IKONOS, SPOT, Digital Globe etc) iv) LiDAR Surveys v) Nearshore shallow water Multibeam Bathymetry
