Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase, version 11 | |||
<headertabs/> | ===Description=== | ||
"Despite the strategic significance of EEZs, a standard georeferenced product with maritime boundaries was not available at the global level (Claus et. al, 2014), until it was developed and made available by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in 2006 (Deckers and Vanden Berghe, 2006). | |||
The product developed at VLIZ consisted of two GIS layers providing both the maritime boundaries (lines) and the EEZs (polygons). The layers were regularly updated with 8 consecutive versions published between 2006 and 2014. Version 9 was launched by the VLIZ-hosted portal Marineregions.org in October 2016: Straight and archipelagic baselines were included, together with remaining areas defined by UNCLOS: internal and archipelagic waters, territorial seas and contiguous zones. Version 10 (2018) fixes known issues, updated treaties or minor fixes. For version 11 (2019) UN country codes were included in the EEZ attribute table. The High Seas as defined by UNCLOS was added in 2020.." (Retrieved from https://www.vliz.be/en/imis?dasid=6315&doiid=382 on 2024-12-04). | |||
===Creation Date=== | |||

===Methodology=== | |||
The dataset was clipped to the area of interest, merged boundaries belonging to the same country in different seas, removed subtractive polygons and adjusted to fit the countries' layer without overlaps or gaps.<headertabs/> |
