Additional Information
As part of strategic shipping lanes and one of the major archipelagos in the South China Sea, the landmass contains less than 490 acres spread over more than one hundred and sixty-four thousand miles of ocean and is among the most remote sites in the world. They are primarily uninhabited though nearly all islands have some military structure for varying international interests, including Malaysia, Taiwan, China, the Philippines, and Vietnam. They remain significant economic drivers with commercial fishing, although their political control has been widely disputed since the late nineteenth century.
This map was produced by the United States Department of State in the year preceding the 2016 arbitration. This diplomatic issue settled a dispute between the Philippines and China, however sovereign rule still remains unresolved. This map lays out the numerous claims to the different atolls, cays, and other pieces of land in this vast expanse and outlines disputed territories and international claims of sovereignty. It also illustrates the natural features, including reefs and lands that are exposed during tidal events. The Spratly Islands remain one of the most untouched marine sites, and efforts to preserve the region have increased as oil exploration has begun to threaten wildlife and coral reefs.
This is an authentic piece of International cartographical history that represents the ongoing disputes for sovereignty and bears a traditional design and aesthetic. As the South China Sea is further explored, its economy has shifted to attracting tourists eager to explore the untouched reefs and natural features.
