Exclusive Economic Zone and 

Maritime Boundaries; Notice of Limits 

SUMMARY: This notice provides updated 

information pertaining to the outer 

limits of the U.S. exclusive economic 

zone. 

DATES: These limits are in effect as of 

December 21, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amanda Williams, Maritime 

Geographer, Department of State, 

williamsac3@state.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By 

Presidential Proclamation No. 5030 

made on March 10, 1983, the United 

States established an exclusive 

economic zone, within which the 

United States may exercise its sovereign 

rights and jurisdiction as permitted 

under international law. The outer limit 

of the exclusive economic zone extends 

to a maximum distance of 200 nautical 

miles from the baseline from which the 

breadth of the territorial sea is 

measured. 

The Department of State on behalf of 

the Government of the United States 

hereby announces updated information 

pertaining to the outer limits of the 

exclusive economic zone of the United 

States of America. The Government of

1Point 1 is from the Canada-U.S. International 

Boundary Commission (Point TP 15 of the official 

geographical coordinates of the boundary points in 

Passamaquoddy Bay, Section 1, in NAD 83). Points 

1 to 10 are landward of the U.S. exclusive economic 

zone and define the limits of the U.S. territorial sea. 

The U.S. maritime limits from points 1 to 12 in 

areas adjacent to Canada do not correspond to 

limits of the maritime zones claimed by Canada, 

due to the dispute between the United States and 

Canada relating to the sovereignty over Machias 

Seal Island and North Rock. The line defined by 

points 12 to 15 reflects the judgment of a chamber 

of the International Court of Justice establishing a 

U.S.-Canada maritime boundary in the Gulf of 

Maine. Case Concerning Delimitation of the 

Maritime Boundary in the Gulf of Maine Area, 1984 

I.C.J. Reports 246 (Judgment of Oct. 12, 1984). The 

coordinates in the judgment have been converted 

from NAD 27 to WGS 84 for the purpose of this 

Notice. 

2Points 113 to 138 correspond to the boundary 

points set forth in the Maritime Boundary 

Agreement between the United States of America 

and the Republic of Cuba, signed December 16, 

1977, Senate Treaty Doc. 96–8. The treaty has been 

applied provisionally since January 1, 1978. The 

coordinates in the treaty have been converted from 

NAD 27 to WGS 84 for the purpose of this Notice. 

Point 139 corresponds to boundary point 1 set forth 

in the Treaty between the United States of America 

and the Republic of Cuba on the Delimitation of the 

Continental Shelf in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico 

beyond 200 Nautical Miles, signed January 18, 

2017. The treaty has been applied provisionally 

since January 18, 2017. 

the United States has been, is, and will 

be engaged in consultations and 

negotiations with governments of 

neighboring countries concerning the 

delimitation of areas subject to the 

respective jurisdiction of the United 

States and of these countries. The outer 

limits of the exclusive economic zone of 

the United States as set forth in this 

notice are without prejudice to any 

negotiations with these countries or to 

any positions that may have been or 

may be adopted respecting the limits of 

maritime jurisdiction in such areas. 

Further, the limits of the exclusive 

economic zone set forth in this notice 

are without prejudice to the outer limits 

of the continental shelf of the United 

States where that shelf extends beyond 

200 nautical miles from the baseline 

from which the breath of the territorial 

sea is measured in accordance with 

international law. 

This Public Notice supersedes all 

limits defined in the following Public 

Notices that variously defined the outer 

limits of the U.S. fishery conservation 

zone before 1984 and the U.S. exclusive 

economic zone beginning in 1983: 

Public Notice 506, 41 FR 48619 

(November 4, 1976); Public Notice 526, 

42 FR 12937 (March 7, 1977); Public 

Notice 544, 42 FR 24134 (May 12, 1977); 

Public Notice 4710–01, 43 FR 1658 

(January 11, 1978); Public Notice 585, 

43 FR 1978 (January 11, 1978); Public 

Notice 910, 49 FR 31973 (August 9, 

1984); and Public Notice 2237, 60 FR 

43825 (August 23, 1995). This Public 

Notice incorporates the limits agreed to 

in treaties that entered into force or are 

being provisionally applied since 

publication of Public Notice 2237, is 

based on more recent survey data, and 

corrects typographical errors. 

The coordinates in this notice use the 

World Geodetic System 1984 (‘‘WGS 

84’’) datum, unless otherwise noted. For 

the purpose of this notice, the North 

American 1983 Datum (‘‘NAD 83’’ 

(1986)) is considered equivalent to WGS 

84. Some coordinates in this notice were 

derived from coordinates that used the 

North American Datum 1927 (‘‘NAD 

27’’) or the World Geodetic System 1972 

(‘‘WGS 72’’) datum. For those 

coordinates, the conversions to the WGS 

84 datum were done using the National 

Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s 

Mensuration Services Program (MSP) 

Geographic Translator (GEOTRANS) 

version 3.8 and are noted in the relevant 

footnotes. In the case of a discrepancy, 

treaties and the judgment given by a 

Chamber of the International Court of 

Justice take precedence over the 

contents of this notice. 

The term ‘‘straight line’’ means a 

geodesic line, which is the shortest 

distance between two points on the 

referenced ellipsoid and is the most 

common method of linking coordinates 

defining maritime limits and 

boundaries. 

This notice is exempt from the 

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, to the 

extent those requirements apply, as it 

relates to a foreign affairs function of the 

United States. (See Title 5 U.S.C. 553 

(a)(1).) This notice ‘‘ ‘clearly and 

directly’ involve[s] activities or actions 

characteristic of the conduct of 

international relations,’’ E.B. v. U.S. 

Dep’t of State, 583 F. Supp. 3d 58, 66 

(D.D.C. 2022), because it announces the 

locations of maritime boundaries agreed 

between the United States and other 

countries and the geographic limits 

within which the United States may 

exercise sovereign rights and 

jurisdiction in accordance with 

international law. See, e.g., City of New 

York v. Permanent Mission of India to 

United Nations, 618 F.3d 172, 201 (2d 

Cir. 2010). Since it is exempt from 

Section 553, the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 

553(d) do not apply, and this notice is 

in effect upon publication.

11Point 22 is located at a distance of 200 nautical 

miles from the territorial sea baselines of the United 

States on the U.S.-Russia maritime boundary 

established by the Agreement between the United 

States of America and The Union of Soviet Socialist 

Republics on the Maritime Boundary (‘‘U.S.-Russia 

Agreement of 1990’’), signed June 1, 1990, Senate 

Treaty Doc. 101–22, and applied provisionally, 

pending its entry into force, by an exchange of notes 

effective June 15, 1990, TIAS 11451. (The Russian 

Federation is the successor of the USSR with 

respect to the 1990 Agreement and the agreement 

to provisionally apply it.) Points 23 to 58 

correspond to boundary points 1 to 36 set forth in 

the U.S.-Russia Agreement of 1990. The coordinates 

set forth in the U.S.-Russia Agreement of 1990 are 

expressed in WGS 84. 

12Point 59 is located at a distance of 200 nautical 

miles from the territorial sea baselines of the United 

States between points 55 and 56 of the U.S.-Russia 

maritime boundary (footnote 11 of this Notice). 

Points 60 to 86 correspond to boundary points 56 

to 82. Point 87 is located at a distance of 200 

nautical miles from the territorial sea baselines of 

the United States on the U.S.-Russia maritime 

boundary, between boundary points 82 and 83. 

13The U.S. maritime limits in areas adjacent to 

Canada in, and seaward of, the Dixon Entrance do 

not correspond to the limits of maritime zones 

claimed by Canada. Points 117 to 146 are landward 

of the U.S. exclusive economic zone and define the 

limits of the U.S. territorial sea. Point 146 is from 

the Canada-U.S. International Boundary 

Commission (Point TP 1 of the official geographical 

coordinates of the boundary points for the Portland 

Canal, Section 27, in NAD 83). Where the claimed 

limits published by the United States and Canada 

leave an unclaimed area within Dixon Entrance, the 

United States will exercise fishery management 

jurisdiction to the Canadian claimed line where that 

line is situated southward of the United States 

claimed line, until such time as a maritime 

boundary with Canada is established in the Dixon 

Entrance.

is measured but beyond 200 nautical 

miles of the baseline from which the 

breadth of the territorial sea of the 

United States is measured (‘‘Eastern 

Special Areas’’).14 Pursuant to article 3 

of the U.S.-Russia Agreement of 1990, 

within Eastern Special Areas the United 

States may exercise the sovereign rights 

and jurisdiction derived from exclusive 

economic zone jurisdiction that the 

Russian Federation would otherwise be 

entitled to exercise under international

the two countries on the maritime 

boundary. The exercise of sovereign 

rights or jurisdiction by the United 

States in the three Eastern Special Areas 

described in this notice derives from the 

U.S.-Russia Agreement of 1990 and does 

not constitute an extension of the U.S.
