Exclusive Economic Zone

This polygon dataset contains the limits of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Portugal, where Portugal has sovereign rights and jurisdiction. The exclusive economic zone is an area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, extending 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured. The Portuguese EEZ is divided into three subareas, designated respectively by Subarea 1 (Continental Portugal), Subarea 2 (Madeira) and Subarea 3 (Azores).
