The Global Maritime Boundaries Database (GMBD) CD-ROM brings together the claims, limits and boundaries of the world with detailed attribution and documentation so they can be queried and viewed using GIS software. Included in the GMBD are: territorial seas; contiguous, joint development, fishing, and economic zones; potential claim median line solutions, disputed areas, boundary status; and much more. It will be your standard reference for quick access to vital, specific boundary information. General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems had created an interactive CD-ROM that makes these global maritime boundaries data commercially available. General Dynamics started building and maintaining a global environmental GIS in the 1980s to address the research needs of its clients. Until now, graphical portrayal of the claims or agreed boundaries has not been readily available to those involved in marine activities. Third party publishers of claims and boundaries data do not include graphics, portray only one boundary per graphic, or limit their graphics to only the agreed boundaries. The database is key reference tool for manual or automated analyses and can be applied to a vast array of specialty areas including defense, hydrographic surveying, offshore oil and gas exploration, fisheries, telecommunications, marine minerals/mining, defense, salvage, shipping, construction, pollution, marine scientific research, marine archaeology, recreation, ocean law, academia, and journalism. https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C1214608654-SCIOPS

New Zealand’s four million km2 marine environment is diverse, with a range of coastal habitats and offshore seabed environments. There are also many marine species unique to New Zealand. Marine protected areas conserve or manage some of these unique habitats and species, while a range of other tools also provide marine protection. We report on the area covered by these tools as an indirect measure to understand the state of the marine environment. Marine reserves lie within our territorial sea (12 nautical mile limit) and offer the highest level of marine protection in New Zealand waters. No marine habitat or life form, such as seaweed or fish, may be removed from, or disturbed in, these places.Sourced from MfE from a collection of layers for the "Our Marine Environment 2016" report (see https://data.mfe.govt.nz/layers/tag/our-marine-environment-2016/).
