The Contiguous Sea Zone Outer Limits Regulations 2014 in accordance with the MZA 2011 specifies the geographical coordinates that defines the boundaries of Cook Islands contiguous sea and are referenced to the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84). The Regulations also contains charts for general illustrations of the contiguous zone lines.
