) ~~ REPUBLIC OF KIRIBATI MARINE ZONES (DECLARATION) ACT 2011 (No. 4 of2011) BASELINES AROUND THE ARCHIPELAGOS OF KIRIBATI REGULATIONS 2014 In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 14 of the Marine Zones (Declaration) Act 2011, the Minister of Fisheries, and Marine Resources Development hereby makes the following Regulations: 1 Citation PART I PRELIMINARY These Regulations may be cited as the Baselines around the Archipelagos of Kiribati Regulations 2014. 2 Interpretation 'Baseline' means the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf is measured. "Archipelago" means a group of islands, including parts of islands, interconnecting waters and other natural features which are so closely interrelated that such islands, waters and other natural features form an intrinsic geographical, economic and political entity, or which historically have been regarded as such. PARTil ARCHPELAGIC BASELINES 3 Baselines around the archipelagos of Kiribati (1) The baselines for the archipelagos of Kiribati are determined by reference to points specified in the tables in Schedule 1 and the archipelagic baselines specified in Schedule 2. (2) The table in Part 1 of Schedule 1 specifies the points on the baseline of the archipelago comprising Makin, Butaritari, Marakei, Abaiang, Tarawa, Maiana, Kuria, Abemama and Aranuka in the Gilbert Group. (3) The table in Part 2 of Schedule 1 specifies the points on the baseline of the archipelago comprising Nonouti, Tabiteuea, Beru and Onotoa in the Gilbert Group. Page 1 of8 0 ( 4) The table in Part 1 of Schedule 2 specifies the archipelagic baselines for the archipelago comprising Makin, Butaritari, Marakei, Abaiang, Tarawa, Maiana, Kuria, Abemama and Aranuka in the Gilbert Group. (5) The table in Part 2 of Schedule 2 specifies the archipelagic baselines for the archipelago comprising Nonouti, Tabiteuea, Beru and Onotoa in the Gilbert Group. 4 Guide to reading Schedule 1 ( 1) In the tables in Schedule 1: (a) the first column sets out the point identifier, (b) the second and third columns set out the geographic coordinates for each point, and (c) the fourth column sets out the zone(s) measured from the point and indicates whether the point constitutes part of an archipelagic baseline. (2) In the fourth column: (a) TS stands for territorial sea, (b) CZ stands for contiguous zone, (c) EEZ stands for exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, and ( d) AB stands for endpoint of an archipelagic baseline. PARTID GEOGRAPHIC COORDJNATES POJNTS 5 Geodetic framework In these Regulations, points defined by geographic coordinates are determined by reference ) to the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84). 6 Illustrative chart The chart in Schedule 3 provides a general illustration of the points on the baselines specified in Schedule 1, and the baselines, including the baselines specified in Schedule 2.
