17  Blocks
 (1) This is how a block is constituted in an offshore area:
 (a) assume that there is laid over the offshore area a grid constituted by:
 (i) lines running along meridians drawn through each degree of longitude and the minutes between those degrees; and
 (ii) lines running along parallels drawn through each degree of latitude and the minutes between those degrees;
 (b) take a bounded space defined by the grid;
 (c) the seabed and subsoil within the offshore area that is under that space is a block in the offshore area.
 (2) The following diagram shows how a block is constituted:

Note: Each block is identified by giving the name of the plan in the 1:1,000,000 map series, an identifying number of the 5 minute primary block and a letter identifying the 1 minute block. The block in the diagram is 1621(a) on the Darwin sheet.
