Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction in the Timor Sea, Updated 2019

A map depicting Australia's maritime jurisdiction zones in the Timor Sea, updated in December 2019. It reflects the 2018 Australia-Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty and is part of a 27-map series. The map is derived from bathymetric and topographic grids and NASA imagery but is indicative only and not a definitive legal source.

• Referencing indicative maritime zones for regional planning based on the map's depicted limits

Strengths

• Updated in December 2019 to reflect a specific treaty (the 2018 Australia-Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty)
• One of 27 constituent maps in a defined series (GeoCat 71789)
