17 Blocks

This is how a block is constituted in coastal waters:

(a) assume that there is laid over the coastal waters a grid constituted by:

(i) lines running along meridians drawn through each degree of longitude and the minutes between those degrees, and

(ii) lines running along parallels drawn through each degree of latitude and the minutes between those degrees,

(b) take a bounded space defined by the grid,

(c) the seabed and subsoil within the coastal waters that is under that space is a block.
