29. Indonesia has embarked on the task of counting its islands in order to better protect
its territory and marine resources. It hopes to locate and name an additional 1,700
islands in time for the UN Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names in
August. Indonesia wants to claim sovereignty and fishing rights in the waters
surrounding the islands, many of which its neighbors also claim.
The Indonesian government says illegal fishing in its waters is costing billions of
dollars in lost revenue each year. A fisheries spokeswoman told the BBC: “Sixty per cent
of islands in Indonesia don’t have a name or officially have legal status, so they can
easily be taken or claimed by another country.”
Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago. At the last UN conference on
geographical names in 2012, Indonesia registered 13,466 islands. A law in 1996
estimated that the number of islands was 17,508. The UN Convention on the Law of the
Sea defines an island as, ‘ a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is
still exposed at high tide.”
A spokesman from Indonesia’s Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries explained the
scale of the task the counting team had. He said, “We have to visit every one of these
islands, and then we note the coordinates, the name, the meaning of the name, the
history of the land and describe the landscape and its geographical history… all the
great detail.
What kind of rights does Indonesia want to claim?
a. Lost rights
b. Water rights
c. Legal rights
d. Fishing rights
e. Mountain rights
