Territory Located in South America, the Brazilian territory consists of approximately 8.5 million square kilometers of land and 4.5 million square kilometers of sea area. CHAPTER 1 — THE BRAZILIAN STATE AND NATIONAL DEFENSE Maritime Area Is constituted by both inland waters and maritime areas, where Brazil exerts some degree of jurisdiction over activities; persons, installations, ships and natural resources (alive or otherwise). The term applies to waters in the seabed and below the sea floor. It refers to waters that are subject to Brazilian control and inspection, within the limits set by international and national law. Such maritime spaces are comprised of a 200 nautical miles strip (one mile equivalent to approximately 1.85 km). Brazil has frontiers with 9 other SouthAmerican countries and one of France’s oversea territories, which represent an extension of almost 17 thousand kilometers, approximately 12 thousand of which refer to the Legal Amazon border. The Brazilian seacoast stretches for nearly 7.4 thousand kilometers. Important navigation routes, vital for the national economy, cross Brazilian waters along the Atlantic Ocean. Located in this region, are the Brazilian presalt petroleum reserves, which are of great economic, political and strategic importance.
