Abstract
An increase in the
Earth's surface temperature has consequences for sea level rise. A sustained
rise in sea level due to climate change can result in a shift in the country's
territory over the sea and subsequently can lead to potential disputes and even
the threat of sinking a state-owned island. According to the
identification results, there are 17,508 islands throughout Indonesia. There
are 7,353 named islands and 10,155 unnamed islands throughout the Republic of
Indonesia. Of the 7,353 named islands, there are 67 islands that border
directly with neighboring countries, 10 of which need special attention,
because they are located on the outer border. The research methods used in this
article are descriptive and explanatory methods. Descriptive research presents
a complete picture of the problem that focuses on the application of the median
line method in determining Indonesia's maritime boundaries due to climate
change. By registering the names of Indonesia's outermost small islands as a
reference for determining Indonesia's maritime boundaries with neighboring
countries, the outermost island is the ownership of Indonesia so that the
median line application in determining Indonesia's maritime boundaries can
still be applied.
