This map supersedes the Australia's Maritime Zones/Boundaries Map Edition 4, published in November 2013. Catalogue Number/GeoCat
69822. This map has been derived from Geoscience Australia's Australian Maritime Boundaries (AMB) 2014 data which is a digital
representation of Australia's territorial sea baseline and the maritime limits and boundaries as established under the Sea
and Submerged Lands Act 1973. On the 9 April 2008 the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf confirmed Australia's
continental shelf limits. This edition shows those limits together with those areas yet to be resolved and the area off the
Australian Antarctic Territory that Australia requested the commission not consider for the time being. The map describes
the different maritime zones, explains how Australia defines and updates its maritime boundaries, and lists the different
maritime boundary arrangements with Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, France (New Calendonia and Kerguelen) and
New Zealand. It shows the extent of Australia's maritime boundaries, stretching from Heard and McDonald Islands in the west
to Norfolk Island in the east, and from the Torres Strait and Arafura Sea in the north to the Australian Antarctic Territory
in the south. This map can be downloaded from the Web in PDF format. Coverage: Australia Currency: 2014 (web map) Coordinates:
