NEW ZEALAND’S TERRITORIAL SEA and fishing zones are defined by a bill introduced in Parliament on Wednesday. This map, redrawn from the chart prepared by the Hydrographic Branch of the Navy Office, shows the new limits in the Cook Strait and Marlborough Sounds region. Waters within major bays and indentations (darkly shaded) are defined as internal waters. Territorial sea extends three nautical miles beyond these waters, or beyond the main coastline and islands. Beyond this is the zone, reaching for a further nine miles, which is exclusive to New Zealand fishing and whaling.
