Hiti

The Hiti maritime boundary forms a precise demarcation line between territorial waters, extending across the South Pacific Ocean near Makemo atoll.

The establishment of this maritime boundary in the Tuamotu Archipelago represented a significant step in French Polynesian territorial organization during the 20th century.

Local fishermen from Makemo incorporate traditional navigation methods while respecting the maritime boundaries when conducting their fishing activities in these waters.

The maritime boundary serves as a reference point for vessels navigating through the Tuamotu waters and helps determine fishing zone regulations.

This boundary creates specific zones that determine maritime jurisdiction and resource management responsibilities between different administrative regions of French Polynesia.
