<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;What I do find strange, however, is that the EEZ boundary around the <br/>
&gt;Kermadecs is not interrupted.<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Right enough. I&#39;ve been puzzled by other maps of the same area that <br/>
also leave the boundary uninterrupted - up to now I&#39;ve been thinking <br/>
this was due to some subtlety in the dependent nature of the Kermadecs <br/>
compared to the other offshore islands, but I&#39;ve found no evidence of <br/>
that. So maybe there is a very narrow gap between the two, although to <br/>
my eye they don&#39;t *look* tangential. Hmmm.<br/>

&gt;merely a 200 nm limits map, but a EEZ limits one, since I think I can <br/>
&gt;see the EEZ bordering that of Australia (Macquarie Island).<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Yes - there&#39;s a flat median line in the south for Macquarie, and <br/>
another subtle flattening in the northwest where the NZ EEZ abuts the <br/>
one around Norfolk Island.<br/>
