- Supplemental Information
- IMAR launched an online questionnaire to help and inform the discussions on this boundary. We got 12 responses from all regions. In general, most responses suggested to be as inclusive as possible and therefore most areas were suggested to be included in the iAtlantic basin-scale work. The main responses and decisions are summarized here:North boundary: shall we use the North limit of the Atlantic Ocean and change Region 1 boundaries?No (include a portion of the Arctic ocean named the Norwegian Sea, Greenland Sea)We adjusted the northern limit to boundary of Region #1; i.e. 74°NLabrador Sea, Davis Strait and Baffin bay?Include the Labrador Sea and the Davis StraitNorth Sea, Celtic Sea, Bay of Biscay?Include the Celtic Sea, Bay of BiscayMost of the answers received did not mentioned the need to include the North Sea. Some argued the North Sea is not deep sea or open ocean. However, during the September 2020 SC meeting, strong arguments in favor of including this area were presented. Namely, related to the importance of the North Sea for European economy and policy. This are is now included as a part of the iAtlantic basin scale.Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of Guinea?Include the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of GuineaSouthern boundaries: Do you agree to exclude the CCAMLR convention area?No, use the IHO south limits of the Atlantic OceanSE and SW boundaries: do you agree using the IHO SE and SW boundaries?Use the IHO SW boundary but expand the SE boundary to 21°E
