In this case, Indonesia has binding legal force to file a claim against or defense against China which claims arbitrarily and clearly violates the International Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Through the writing of this paper, it aims to analyze and deliver input from the scientific aspects of geodesy and geomatics through an opinion on the resolution of the North Natuna Sea problem that Indonesia has strong evidence and is in accordance with the law so as to provide opportunities for resolving disputes in the region.Keywords: Exclusive Economic Zone,Dispute, North Natuna Sea, Nine Dash Line, UNCLOS
