All of that area within the Southern Ocean, excluding any coastal waters* in relation to the State of Tasmania, contained within and bounded as follows**:
(i) commencing at the point of latitude 43 degrees 24 minutes south, longitude 144 degrees east; (ii) then east along the parallel of latitude 43 degrees 24 minutes south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 145 degrees 5 minutes 5 seconds east; (iii) then south along the meridian of longitude 145 degrees 5 minutes 5 seconds east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 43 degrees 24 minutes 55 seconds south; (iv) then east along the parallel of latitude 43 degrees 24 minutes 55 seconds south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 145 degrees 15 minutes 5 seconds east; (v) then south along the meridian of longitude 145 degrees 15 minutes 5 seconds east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 43 degrees 34 minutes 55 seconds south; (vi) then east along the parallel of latitude 43 degrees 34 minutes 55 seconds south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 145 degrees 20 minutes 5 seconds east; (vii) then south along the meridian of longitude 145 degrees 20 minutes 5 seconds east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 43 degrees 44 minutes 55 seconds south; (viii) then east along the parallel of latitude 43 degrees 44 minutes 55 seconds south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 146 degrees 6 minutes east; (ix) then easterly along the geodesic to the intersection of the meridian of longitude 146 degrees 15 minutes east, with the outer limit of the coastal waters* of Tasmania at approximate latitude 43 degrees 43 minutes south; (x) then generally easterly along the outer limit of the coastal waters* of Tasmania to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 146 degrees 36 minutes east; (xi) then south‑westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 43 degrees 59 minutes 32 seconds south, longitude 146 degrees 23 minutes 27 seconds east; (xii) then south‑westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 44 degrees 36 minutes south, longitude 145 degrees 57 minutes 30 seconds east; (xiii) then west along the parallel of latitude 44 degrees 36 minutes south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 145 degrees 35 minutes 48 seconds east; (xiv) then south‑westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 44 degrees 56 minutes south, longitude 145 degrees 21 minutes east; (xv) then south along the meridian of longitude 145 degrees 21 minutes east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 45 degrees 45 minutes south; (xvi) then west along the parallel of latitude 45 degrees 45 minutes south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 144 degrees 40 minutes east; (xvii) then south‑easterly along the geodesic to the intersection of the meridian of longitude 145 degrees 1 minutes 54 seconds east, with the outer limit of the exclusive economic zone***; (xviii) then generally westerly along the outer limit of the exclusive economic zone to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 144 degrees east; and (xix) then north along the meridian of longitude 144 degrees east, to the point of commencement.
