For statistical purposes, 27 major fishing areas have been internationally established to date. These comprise: eight major inland fishing areas covering the inland waters of the continents and nineteen major marine fishing areas covering the waters of the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans, with their adjacent seas. The internationally accepted standard practice is to divide each of the major fishing areas into: first: subareas; second: divisions; and third: subdivisions. Such systems of subareas, divisions and subdivisions have been successfully developed and implemented in the Atlantic Ocean by ICNAF, the predecessor of NAFO, for major fishing area 21, by ICES for area 27, by CECAF for area 34, by GCFM for area 37, by CARPAS for area 41, by ICSEAF for area 47, by CPPS for area 87 in the Pacific Ocean, and by CCAMLR for areas 48, 58 and 88 in the Antarctic. The boundaries of FAO Major Fishing Areas could be modified and adjusted according to new requirements, but it is inadvisable to introduce too frequent amendments to the already established areas. Revisions to boundaries should only be introduced after consultation with all the national fishery authorities and fishery agencies concerned with the areas under revision. Unless there are other over-riding reasons, boundaries lines should be drawn along 5° lines of longitude and latitude. http://www.fao.org/figis/geoserver/fsa/ows?SERVICE=WMS OGC:WMS-1.3.0-http-get-map FSA_21-2-H Division 21.2H of FAO Major Area 21 http://www.fao.org/figis/geoserver/fsa/ows?service=WFS&request=GetFeature&version=1.0.0&typeName=FSA_21-2-H WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link FSA_21-2-H GIS data download (WFS - GML) http://www.fao.org/figis/geoserver/fsa/ows?service=WFS&request=GetFeature&version=1.0.0&typeName=FSA_21-2-H&outputFormat=SHAPE-ZIP&format_options=filename%3AFAO_FSA_21-2-H.zip WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link FSA_21-2-H GIS data download (WFS - ESRI Shapefile) http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/eng/csw?service=CSW&request=GetRecordById&Version=2.0.2&elementSetName=full&outputSchema=http%3A//www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd&id=fao-fsa-map-21.2.h WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link XML metadata (XML) http://www.fao.org/fishery/cwp/handbook/h/en WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link FAO Major Fishing Areas for Statistical Purposes http://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/2aa742ba-f562-4200-9d12-9bb3ac4448dd WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link FAO Major Fishing Areas for Statistical Purposes (pdf poster) http://www.fao.org/fishery/area/Area21#FAO-fishing-area-21.2.H WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link CWP Handbook (section H) area description Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services INSPIRE Data Specifications on Area management/restriction/regulation zones and reporting units – Guidelines 2010-12-08 2013-12-10 The conformity to the above INSPIRE data specification has not been fully evaluated.
