Australian Fisheries Enforcement Zones Map for Indonesian Fishermen

Geoscience Australia produced this map for the Australian Fisheries Management Authority to assist in enforcing Australia's maritime boundaries. The map uses icons to explain fishing zones in the Timor and Arafura Seas to Indonesian fishermen and was updated in 2019 to reflect the 2018 Australia/Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty. It is an Indonesian translation and public release is managed through the Department of the Environment and Heritage and AFMA.
