Sovereignty and jurisdiction maritime spaces
The "Sovereignty and jurisdiction maritime spaces of France" product contains the areas of sovereignty and jurisdiction maritime spaces of France all around the world.<br /><br />
It is constituted of 2D areas objects split into four categories :<br />
- the territorial sea (from baselines to a distance of 12 nautical miles or to maritime boundaries with neighbouring countries);<br />
- the contiguous zone (from 12 nautical miles to 24 nautical miles from the baselines or to maritime boundaries with neighbouring countries);<br />
- the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) (from 12 nautical miles to 200 nautical miles from the baselines or to maritime boundaries with neighbouring countries);<br />
- the continental shelf over the 200 nautical miles limit (from 200 nautical miles from the baselines to the limits recommended by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) or to the maritime boundaries with neighbouring countries).<br />
Internal waters, which constitute a space of sovereignty beyond the baselines, are not included in the "Sovereignty and jurisdiction maritime spaces of France" product.<br />
The "Sovereignty and jurisdiction maritime spaces of France" product may not be considered as an enforceable right. Only the “Maritime limits and boundaries” product, that can be displayed and interrogated on the website data.shom.fr (maritime boundaries category) and also downloaded on the French national portal of maritime limits ( https://maritimelimits.gouv.fr ), may be considered so.<br /><br />

- Statement
-
The areas of French sovereignty and jurisdiction maritime spaces are prepared with the following elements:
- Outer limits of the territorial sea, the contiguous zone and EEZ ;
- Maritime boundaries related to maritime boundaries agreements or decisions from the international tribunal and unilaterally claimed maritime spaces limits ;
- Outer limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles ;
- Straight baselines ;
- low water lines.
The territorial sea areas are limited landward by the baselines, made of straight baselines and low water lines. Those low water line elements are corresponding to the knowledge at the time of the online baselines decrees publications. They had been used to compute the limits of the maritime spaces published in decrees. Differences may appear between those low water line elements and the one displayed on Shom's current paper charts or ENCs.
