Dear participants to the international boundaries discussion group,

I consulted the article on the maritime boundary delineation between The Bahamas and Cuba published in The Nassau Guardian (4 Oct 2011). Since these two countries are CARIS LOTS users, I was surprised to see Clarisoft mentioned as law of the sea software. After enquiring with the Bahamas National GIS Centre, I received confirmation that CARIS LOTS was indeed the software that should have been mentioned in the newspaper.

I thought it was important to point this out and possibly avoid unnecessary phone calls to Clarisoft.

Best Regards,

Dear Colleagues,

According to The Nassau Guardian (4 Oct 2011), the Bahamas and Cuba signed a maritime boundary agreement on 3 October.  I was unable to find the text on either government's website--probably because the accord has not been ratified.  If any of you can provide the text, I would appreciate it.

In other boundary news, I would note that Guyana and Venezuela appear to have agreed to negotiate an extended continental shelf boundary (El Universal, 1 Oct 2011 -- **see also below**).  Indonesia and Malaysia are also negotiating a maritime boundary in the West Kalimantan (Borneo) area, according to The Jakarta Post, 9 Oct 2011.  Finally, St. Kitts and Nevis is preparing for maritime boundary negotiations in early 2012 (Office of the Prime Minister, 17 Oct 2011 via www.cuopm.com).
