<p>To be clear, that forum thread wasn't primarily about the
_maritime_ borders but about the status of the _land_. I do agree
that a discussion about the meritime borders makes sense though.<br>

<p>Of the two sites referenced there,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gibnet.com/fish/waters.htm">http://www.gibnet.com/fish/waters.htm</a> does not mention Ceuta and
Melilla at all - it merely states the UK claim re Gribraltar that
<font color="#FF0000"><font size="2" face="Arial" color="#0000ff">British
Sovereignty of Gibraltar's "land territory" entitles it to
Sovereignty of "a sea belt adjacent to its coast."</font></font>.</p>

, covers and what the claim actually is.<br>
</p>
<p>Missing in all this is the position of Morocco - can anyone point
to a statement there?</p>
