| Fig. H2.34.0 shows the boundaries of the subareas, divisions and subdivisions of the Eastern Central Atlantic (Major Fishing Area 34).
A description of the area and its subareas, divisions and subdivisions follows.
The waters bounded by a line running from a point of the high-water mark of North Africa at 5°36' west longitude; thence running in a southerly direction following the high-water mark along the coast of Africa to a point at Punta do Padrao at 6°04'36'' south latitude and 12°19'48'' east longitude; thence along a rhumb line in a northwesterly direction to a point at 6°00' south latitude and 12°00' east longitude; thence due west along 6°00' south latitude to 20°00' west longitude; thence due north to the Equator; thence due west to 30°00' west longitude; thence due north to 5°00' north latitude; thence due west to 40°00' west longitude, thence due north to 36°00' north latitude; thence due east to Punta Marroqui at 5°36' west longitude and 36°00' north latitude; thence due south to the original point on the African coast.
The Eastern Central Atlantic is divided in the following way:
|
| Northern Coastal (Subarea 34.1) | | | | Subarea 34.1 is divided into three divisions: |
| Morocco Coastal (Division 34.1.1) | | | Waters lying between 36°00' north latitude and 26°00' north latitude, and east of a line drawn due south from 36°00' north latitude along 13°00' west longitude to 29°00' north latitude, and thence in a southwesterly direction along a rhumb line to a point at 26°00' north latitude and 16°00' west longitude.
Division 34.1.1 is divided into three subdivisions defined as follows:
|
| Subdivision 34.1.11 | | | from 36°00' north latitude to south of El Jadida at 33°00' north latitude, and east of 13°00' west longitude.
|
| Subdivision 34.1.12 | | | from 33°00' north latitude to 29°00' (Ifni) north latitude and east of 13°00' west longitude.
|
| Subdivision 34.1.13 | | | from Ifni at 29°00' north latitude to the southern boundary of the Division at 26°00' north latitude (Cabo Bojador), and east of a rhumb line running in a southwesterly direction from 29°00' north latitude to 26°00' north latitude and 16°00' west longitude.
|
| Canaries/Madeira Insular (Division 34.1.2) | | | Waters lying between 36°00' north latitude and 26°00' north latitude, and between 20°00' west longitude and a line drawn from 36°00' north latitude along 13°00' west longitude to 29°00' north latitude, and thence along a rhumb line in a southwesterly direction to a point at 26°00' north latitude and 16°00' west longitude.
|
| Sahara Coastal (Division 34.1.3) | | | Waters lying between 26°00' north latitude and 19°00' north latitude and east of 20°00' west longitude.
Division 34.1.3 is divided into two subdivisions defined as follows: |
| Subdivision 34.1.31 | | | from 26°00' north latitude to Cape Barbas at 22°30' northlatitude and east of 20°00' west longitude.
|
| Subdivision 34.1.32 | | | from 22°30' north latitude to the southern boundary of the Division at 19°00' north latitude at Cape Timiris and east of 20°00' west longitude.
|
| Northern Oceanic (Subarea 34.2) | | | Waters lying between 36°00' north latitude and 20°00' north latitude and between 40°00' west longitude and 20°00' west longitude.
|
| Southern Coastal (Subarea 34.3) | | | | Subarea 34.3 is divided into six divisions: |
| Cape Verde Coastal (Division 34.3.1) | | | Waters lying between 19°00' north latitude and 9°00' north latitude, and east of 20°00' west longitude.
Division 34.3.1: is divided into three subdivisions defined as follows:
|
| Subdivision 34.3.11 | | | from 19°00' north latitude to 16°00' north latitude at theestuary of the Senegal river, and east of 20°00' west longitude.
|
| Subdivision 34.3.12 | | | from 16°00' north latitude to Cape Roxo at 12°20' northlatitude and east of 20°00' west longitude.
|
| Subdivision 34.3.13 | | | from 12°20' north latitude to the southern boundary of theDivision at 9°00' north latitude, and east of 20°00' west longitude.
|
| Cape Verde Insular (Division 34.3.2) | | | Waters lying between 20°00' north latitude and 10°00' north latitude, and between 30°00' west longitude and 20°00' west longitude.
|
| Sherbro (Division 34.3.3) | | | Waters lying between 9°00' north latitude and the Equator, and between 20°00' west longitude and 8°00' west longitude.
|
| Western Gulf of Guinea (Division 34.3.4) | | | Waters lying north of the Equator, and between 8°00' west longitude and 3°00' east longitude.
|
| Central Gulf of Guinea (Division 34.3.5) | | | Waters lying north of the Equator, and east of 3°00' east longitude.
|
| Southern Gulf of Guinea (Division 34.3.6) | | | Waters lying between the Equator and 6°00' south latitude, and east of 3°00' east longitude. This Division includes also the waters of the Congo Estuary lying south of 6°00' south latitude included by a line drawn form a point at Ponta do Padrao (6°04'36'' south latitude and 12°19'48'' east longitude) along a rhumb line in a northwesterly direction to a point on 6°00' south latitude and 12°00' east longitude, and thence due east along 6°00' south latitude to the African coast and thence along the African coast to the original point at Ponta do Padrao.
|
| Southern Oceanic (Subarea 34.4) | | | | Subarea 34.4 is divided into two divisions: |
| Southwest Gulf of Guinea (Division 34.4.1) | | | Waters lying between the Equator and 6°00' south latitude, and between 20°00' west longitude and 3°00' east longitude.
|
