One of NAMRIA’s core functions is the delineation of the maritime boundaries of the Philippines. The agency was responsible for the establishment of the Philippine archipelagic baselines which were enacted into law in 2009. The agency also led the preparation and successful defense of the country’s submission to the United Nations for an extended continental shelf in the Benham Rise Region.
