Policing Australia's Maritime Borders Andrew Forbes Australia has the third largest Exclusive Economic Zone in the world and has adopted a whole of government coordination mechanism to surveillance and enforcement of its maritime borders. This presentation examines the gradual extension of Australian maritime jurisdiction and border control management arrangements. In response to the perceived threat of maritime terrorism, a Joint Offshore Protection Command (JOPC) was created to strengthen the relationship between civil surveillance responsibilities and defence offshore security responsibilities. These linkages have been further strengthened with the evolution of the JOPC into Border Protection Command in late October 2006.
