Part 3 High seas zone
  The part of the Pacific Ocean, other than an area that is within the AFZ or the EEZ of a foreign country, that is within the area bounded by a notional line beginning at the intersection of the south coast of Australia and the meridian of longitude 141 E, and running:

              *  south to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 55° S; and

              * east along that parallel to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 150° E; and

              * south along that meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 60° S; and

              * east along that parallel to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 130° W; and

              * north along that meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 4 S; and

Note   Under international law, the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of a country generally extends 200 nautical miles from the baseline of a country. However, the presence of islands and reefs may extend this limit. Holders of fishing permits should contact the coastal state (within the meaning it has in the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973) to determine the exact coordinates of its EEZ boundaries.
