The intention of this paper is to provide a general description of maritime zones. It is not the object of the paper to enter into complicated scientific, technical or legal descriptions which are often needed to fully understand some horizontal and vertical measurement characteristics which are the responsibility of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada [DFAIT], the Geological Survey of Canada [NRCan], the Canadian Hydrographic Service [DFO], and Justice Canada on occasion. The surface area of Canada's oceans estate is approximately 7 .1 million square kilometres. The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) provides a description of maritime zones. Canada contributed significantly to the negotiation of UNCLOS and ratified the Convention in 2003. Termed the "Constitution of the Oceans", UNCLOS sets out the framework for areas in which states have juris diction and sovereign rights, which diminish as one moves away from its coast.
