Description: The normal baseline is the line from which the territorial sea is measured. This dataset depicts the normal baseline of Australia.This dataset depicts the normal baseline defined by the Seas and Submerged Lands (Territorial Sea Baseline) proclamation 2006. The Territorial Sea Baseline is a composite of the Normal and Straight Baseline layers AMB 2014a.

Description: Straight Baselines are a system of straight lines joining specified or discrete points on the low-water line.This dataset depicts the straight baselines explicitly defined in the limit of Seas and Submerged Lands (Territorial Sea Baseline) proclamation 2006.The Territorial Sea Baseline is a composite of the Normal and Straight Baseline layers AMB 2014a.This version release is the Australian Maritime Boundaries (AMB) 2014a and is a component of the Seas and Submerged Lands Act (SSLA) 1973.
Description: The Territorial Sea is a belt of water not exceeding 12M in width measured from the territorial sea baseline. Australia's sovereignty extends to the territorial sea, its seabed and subsoil, and to the air space above it. Australia exercises Sovereignty over the Territorial Sea in accordance with international law as reflected in the Convention. The major limitation on Australia's exercise of sovereignty in the territorial sea is the right of innocent passage for foreign ships. The territorial sea around certain islands in the Torres Strait is 3M.This dataset depicts the limit of Seas and Submerged Lands (Territorial Sea Baseline) proclamation 2006.

Description: The Contiguous Zone is a belt of water contiguous to the territorial sea, the outer limit of which does not exceed 24M from the territorial sea baseline. In this zone, Australia may exercise control necessary to prevent and punish infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations within its territory or territorial sea. This dataset depicts the limit and extent of Australia's Contiguous Zone from the Seas and Submerged Lands (Limits of Contiguous Zone) proclamation 1999.

Description: The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is an area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea. The outer limit of the exclusive economic zone cannot exceed 200M from the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured. In the EEZ, Australia has sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring and exploiting, conserving and managing all natural resources of the waters superjacent to the seabed and of the seabed and its subsoil together with other activities such as the production of energy from water, currents and wind.This dataset depicts the Australian EEZ as modified by the application of the Treaty between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia establishing an Exclusive Economic Zone Boundary and Certain Seabed Boundaries (Perth, 14 march 1997) [1997] ATNIF 9 - (not yet in force). NOTE: This is the standard depiction of the Australian EEZ for operational purposes.
