Spatial Distribution of PSSAs
Figure shows the spatial extent for the 13 PSSAs presently agreed by the IMO. Boundaries for three (check) further putative PSSAs have not been included, due t lack of accurate geo-referenced data. These areas are significantly less in number and extent, accounting for some 5.3.x 10^610

Spatial distribution of the overlap between the two areas of designation
Figures highlight the major area of overlap between EBSAs and PSSAs. The total area of overlap represents some 3% of the area bounded by present-day PSSAs, the majority of which is covered by the area surrounding the Galapagos Islands. Areas such as the Peruvian Upwelling Core, the Eastern Caribbean and tMalpelo Island are extremely small; in truth the PSSAs just clip these EBSAs. The only other significant area of intersection occurs within the Straits of Bonifacio in the Mediterranean (Figure ) |
