Fisheries ontologies: Water Areas

Water Areas(EEZ)

The world water areas may be divided up in several regions, depending on the needs and on the point of view. For example, it is common to talk about Pacific Ocean, but if you are interested in environmental issues you would like to distinguish the "insular pacific-awayan" from the rest of the ocean. Also, if you are interested in economic or legal issues, you will distinguish the territorial waters and the exclusive economic zones of countries. 

 

Note! The ontologies published here are draft versions  and should not be used as official expressions of any of the classifications sytems modeled.
