IN THE NAME OF HER MAJESTY ELIZABETH II, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories, Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith,

BY HIS EXCELLENCY GORDON WESLEY JEWKES ESQUIRE, Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor of the Falkland Islands,

WHEREAS the Falkland Islands are entitled under international law to a fishery limit of a maximum of 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured subject to the boundary with a neighbouring State prescribed by the rules of international law concerning the delimination of maritime jurisdiction,

AND WHEREAS there is a need to conserve the living resources and to regulate on an interim basis fishing in the seas around the Falkland Islands,

NOW THEREFORE I, GORDON WESLEY JEWKES, acting in pursuance of instructions given by Her Majesty through a Secretary of State, do HEREBY PROCLAIM as follows:-

1. There is established for the Falkland Islands an interim fishery conservation and management zone, hereinafter referred to as "the zone".

2. The zone will have as its inner boundary the outer limits of the territorial sea of the Falkland Islands and has as its seaward boundary the line formed by the circumference of a circle which has a radius of 150 nautical miles and its centre at latitude 51° 40' S, longitude 59° 30' W, except that between the points on that circumference situated at latitude 52° 30' S, longitude 63° 12.25' W and latitude 54° 08.68' S, longitude 60° 00' W the seaward boundary shall be a rhumb line.

3. The seaward boundary of the zone may be varied by means of a further Proclamation for the purpose of implementing any agreement or arrangement with another Sate or States or an international organisation, or otherwise.

4. Her Majesty will exercise the same jurisdiction in respect of the conservation of living resources and the management of fisheries in the zone as she has in respect of those matters in the territorial waters of the Falkland Islands subject to such provision as may hereafter be made by law for the conservation of living resources and management of fisheries within the said zone.

5. This Proclamation will become effective on the twenty-ninth of October 1986.
