Description
The current boundary line between Qatar’s and UAE’s EEZs (line ID 4107) is used to divide the Qatari and Emirati EEZs (green on map), but not the 12NM (red) or 24NM (orange) zones, which appear to use a previous boundary line. The line may also need to be renamed; it is currently named “Saudi Arabia - Overlapping claim Qatar / Saudi Arabia / United Arab Emirates”, which seems to only apply to the western section of this line. Consider splitting this line at the end of the Saudi claim and renaming the eastern section “Qatar - UAE” or similar.
