Marine protected areas included in Starboard’s basemap

Benthic protection areas protect seabed habitats through the prohibition of bottom trawling and dredging. Note: There are some areas where seamount closures overlap with benthic protection areas. In these cases the seamount closure restrictions apply. Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand, data source.

Seamount closures protect underwater mountain areas through the prohibition of all trawling activity. Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand, data source.

DOC Marine mammal sanctuaries have specific sets of restrictions based on the species that occupy or pass through particular areas. Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand, data source.

DOC Marine reserves are specified areas of the sea and foreshore that are managed to preserve them in their natural state as the habitat of marine life for scientific study. Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand, data source.

Type 2 Marine protected areas are MPAs that are not marine reserves but meet the MPA protection standard that determines which management tool contribute to the 2005 MPA Policy and Implementation Plan. Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand, data source.


Maritime boundaries included in Starboard’s basemap

Territorial Seas (12 nm) are a belt of coastal waters extending at most 12 nautical miles (22.2 km; 13.8 mi) from the baseline (usually the mean low-water mark) of a coastal state. Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, data source.

Contiguous Zone (24 nm) is a band of water extending from the outer edge of the territorial sea to up to 24 nautical miles (44.4 km; 27.6 mi) from the baseline. Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, data source.

Exclusive Economic Zones (200 nm) is an area of the sea in which a sovereign state has special rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources. Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, data source.
