Description

International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) standardise the division of sea areas for statistical analysis. Each ICES statistical rectangle is '30 min latitude by 1 degree longitude' in size which is approximately 30 nautical miles by 30 nautical miles (Because the Earth is a spheroid shape, the area of an ICES rectangle will vary by latitude).
