Boundary description

Part 1 – Zeehan Commonwealth Marine Reserve

All of that area within the Southern Ocean contained within and bounded as follows*:

1. commencing at the point of latitude 39 degrees 47 minutes 24 seconds south, longitude 143 degrees 40 minutes east;
2. then south along the meridian of longitude 143 degrees 40 minutes east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 39 degrees 57 minutes south;
3. then west along the parallel of latitude 39 degrees 57 minutes south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 143 degrees 15 minutes east;
4. then south-westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 39 degrees 59 minutes 45 seconds south, longitude 143 degrees 6 minutes 20 seconds east;
5. then south-westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 40 degrees 9 minutes south, longitude 142 degrees 39 minutes 30 seconds east;
6. then south along the meridian of longitude 142 degrees 39 minutes 30 seconds east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 42 degrees 30 minutes south;
7. then west along the parallel of latitude 42 degrees 30 minutes south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 141 degrees 51 minutes east;
8. then north along the meridian of longitude 141 degrees 51 minutes east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 40 degrees 13 minutes south;
9. then north-easterly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 39 degrees 49 minutes south, longitude 143 degrees 3 minutes east;
10. then north-easterly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 39 degrees 47 minutes 24 seconds south, longitude 143 degrees 9 minutes east; and
11. then east along the parallel of latitude 39 degrees 47 minutes 24 seconds south, to the point of commencement.

Part 2 – Special Purpose Area Zone (IUCN Category VI – Managed Resource Protected Area)

All of that area within the Southern Ocean contained within and bounded as follows*:

1. commencing at the point of latitude 39 degrees 49 minutes south, longitude 143 degrees 3 minutes east;
2. then southerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 39 degrees 59 minutes 45 seconds south, longitude 143 degrees 6 minutes 20 seconds east;
3. then south-westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 40 degrees 9 minutes south, longitude 142 degrees 39 minutes 30 seconds east;
4. then south along the meridian of longitude 142 degrees 39 minutes 30 seconds east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 42 degrees 30 minutes south;
5. then west along the parallel of latitude 42 degrees 30 minutes south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 141 degrees 51 minutes east;
6. then north along the meridian of longitude 141 degrees 51 minutes east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 40 degrees 13 minutes south; and
7. then north-easterly along the geodesic to the point of commencement.

Part 3 – Multiple Use Area Zone (IUCN Category VI – Managed Resource Protected Area)

All of that area within the Southern Ocean contained within and bounded as follows*:

1. commencing at the point of latitude 39 degrees 47 minutes 24 seconds south, longitude 143 degrees 40 minutes east;
2. then south along the meridian of longitude 143 degrees 40 minutes east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 39 degrees 57 minutes south;
3. then west along the parallel of latitude 39 degrees 57 minutes south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 143 degrees 15 minutes east;
4. then south-westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 39 degrees 59 minutes 45 seconds south, longitude 143 degrees 6 minutes 20 seconds east;
5. then northerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 39 degrees 49 minutes south, longitude 143 degrees 3 minutes east;
6. then north-easterly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 39 degrees 47 minutes 24 seconds south, longitude 143 degrees 9 minutes east; and
7. then east along the parallel of latitude 39 degrees 47 minutes 24 seconds south, to the point of commencement.
