This research is focused on the way in which demarcation tookplace between Iraq's maritime borders on the one hand and the Kuwaiti side on theother. Through satellite technology (Landsat8) and GIS can be identified the areaand how the demarcation was done. The most important in addition, positive pointsof the demarcation have been explained. It was given a full description of theimportance of the economic zone and Highlighting Iraq's most important marinefacilities. More than one map of Iraq can be integrated and redesigned by GIS.
