Polygon version of the linear data source UN_coast.shp file provided by the UN Cartographic Section. The original data is part of the 1:15 million-scale dataset which reflects, along with the 1:1 million-scale dataset, the cartography practice of the UN Cartographic Section for the representation of International Boundaries.
-
Global Simplified Coastline (polygon version) extracted from the GAUL 2006 national level and simplified to produce a layer of continents and coastline suitable for thematic maps display purpose.
-
Vectorized 8-by-8 Kilometer Grid Reference (Point). The RFE_PT shapefile data layer is comprised of 471688 derivative calculated precipitation features derived based on 8 kilometers data originally from EDC. The layer provides nominal analytical/mapping at 1:35 000 000. Acronyms and Abbreviations: EDC - USGS EROS (Earth Resources Observation Systems) Data Center.

Information on state of stocks and fishery status are provided by the FIRMS partners and is published in the form of fact sheets.
-
Vectorized 10-by-10 minute Grid (Point). The CRU_PT shapefile data layer is comprised of 92718 derivative calculated climate features derived based on 0.167 degrees resolution data originally from CRU. The layer provides nominal analytical/mapping at 1:70 000 000. Acronyms and Abbreviations: CRU - Climatic Research Unit - School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia - Norwich.

All waters beyond areas of national jurisdiction in the area bounded by a line joining the following points along parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude:Beginning at the outer limit of waters under national jurisdiction at a point 6° South, thence due west along the 6º South parallel to the meridian 10° West, thence due north along the 10º West meridian to the equator, thence due west along the equator to the meridian 20° West, thence due south along the 20º West meridian to a parallel 50° South, thence due east along the 50º South parallel to the meridian 30° East, thence due north along the 30º East meridian to the coast of the African continent.
