Îles Maria, Maritime boundary near Rimatara, French Polynesia.
The maritime boundary of Îles Maria establishes territorial waters and economic zones across four islets covering 1.9 square kilometers in the Pacific Ocean.
The territorial dispute over Îles Maria between regional kingdoms reached resolution in 1937, marking a significant change in local maritime governance.
The original Polynesian name Nororotu connects to the discovery of these islands by Chief Ama'itera'i from the island of Rurutu.
The boundary extends through waters surrounding four coral islets, located 205 kilometers west-northwest from the administrative center of Rimatara.
The territorial waters contain a shallow lagoon bordered by dense atoll forest, serving as a sanctuary for numerous Pacific seabird species.
