Re: [Talk-ca] Canadienne ou américaine, cette île?
Here is my 2 cents worth on the international maritime boundary issue in the Gulf of Maine: · The Canadian Coast Guard has operated navigational aids on Machias Seal Island for a very long time · I heard in the past that a US citizen in Maine holds a deed to Machias Seal Island – but that does not dictate sovereignty – if that were the case Canada would have sovereignty over many condos and vacation homes in Florida ;) · As a GIS manager working in the government of New Brunswick I always showed Machias Seal Island as being part of New Brunswick when I produced maps. · The Province of New Brunswick Included Machias Seal Island in several map products it has produced over the past few decades.
