CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'South Atlantic Ocean - South Georgia - Territorial Sea Baseline'

This chart of South Georgia features a red overprint marking the territorial baseline limits defined in the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands (Territorial Sea) Order 1989. This legal document, issued by the United Kingdom, established the territorial sea boundaries for South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, British Overseas Territories in the South Atlantic Ocean. It specified straight baselines and limits to determine the extent of territorial waters, generally extending up to 12 nautical miles from the baselines, in accordance with international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). By delineating these baselines and territorial waters, the UK reinforced its sovereignty over the islands and their surrounding maritime zones, which hold importance for fishing, environmental protection, and potential resource exploration. The order was issued in the wake of the Falklands War of 1982, reflecting the UK’s efforts to strengthen legal and administrative control over its South Atlantic territories, reaffirm sovereignty, and establish clear maritime boundaries.
