The Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF) is working on the possibility of extending the Maldives’ continental shelf, reports Miadhu.
Major Mohamed Ibrahim said the Maldives had to make its submission to the UN Commission on Continental Shelf on the findings of its studies by 7 September 2010.
He said a study had already been prepared with assistance from the Commonwealth Secretariat.
Major Ibrahim said the technical team had studied the Indian Ocean and the Maldives since the 1970s.
He also noted the difficulty of finding experts to conduct the studies.
