TERRITORIAL WATERS AND FISHERIES JURISDICTION CLAIMS. Former Notice 1693/80 is cancelled.

The following list shows the breadth of sea (measured from the appropriate baselines) claimed respectively as territorial waters and as being under the state's jurisdiction for fishing. The information is compiled from various, sometimes unofficial, sources; the absence of a limit from this list indicates that the informa- tion is not held.

The claims are published for information only. Her Majesty's Government does not recognise claims to territorial waters exceeding three miles or to fisheries jurisdiction exceeding two hundred miles.
