Maritime Zone - Spatial object type

Definition: A belt of sea defined by international treaties and conventions, where coastal State executes jurisdictional rights.

Description: NOTE 1 The zone is established for e.g. cadastral, administrative, economic, security or safety purposes. It is not established for environmental management or regulation, which is covered by the theme Area management/restriction/regulation zones and reporting areas, or for environmental protection, which is covered by the theme Protected sites.NOTE 2 The maritime zone can be either internal waters, territorial sea, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone or continental shelf.

Definition: An area of sea defined according to its physical and chemical characteristics. It may have multiple geometries (extent) to represent different tidal states.

Description: A SeaArea is a type of HydroObject as described in the Annex1 theme Hydrography. It has geometry described by one or more GM_MultiSurfaces. Multiple geometries are allowed to enable a SeaArea to be described according to different tidal states. Typically however, specialisations of SeaArea will restrict the geometry to a particular tidal state or set of tidal states. SeaAreas include named seas such as ‘Baltic Sea’ and also un-named areas of sea that have particular chemical and physical characteristics. SeaAreas are 2D objects and carry no explicit information about the depth of the sea, this is specified in the INSPIRE Elevation Theme.
