Denmark's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)

The exclusive economic zone in the North Sea, Skagerrak, Kattegat, Øresund, Storebælt and the Baltic Sea comprises sea areas outside and adjacent to the territorial sea up to a distance of 200 nautical miles from the baselines in force at any time. With regard to the course of the baselines, reference is made to the executive order on the delimitation of Denmark's territorial sea in force at any time.

The border is covered by Executive Order No. 1662 of 17/11/2020 https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2020/1662.

Purpose
The purpose of the GIS dataset for the Danish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is to provide spatial information and mapping data that allows for effective management, monitoring, and decision-making regarding the maritime boundaries, resources, and environmental aspects within Denmark's EEZ. This dataset supports activities such as resource exploitation, environmental protection, security, and scientific research in the region. It serves as a valuable tool for various stakeholders, including government agencies, researchers, and industries operating within the Danish EEZ, facilitating better understanding and governance of this maritime zone.
