43 | P age Figure 1: Geographical location of the Reserved Areas in the Pacific Ocean
The reserved areas are delimited by boundaries in the form of polygons. Each of the 24 blocks of the reserved areas has such a boundary. In Figure 2, the boundaries of blocks 1 to 23 are presented. For practical reasons, the geodetic coordinate system used to delimit the areas will be replaced by a Cartesian coordinate system, using the Mercator projection. The size of the reserved areas in the Clarion‐ Clipperton Zone is rather large, amounting to 930,000 km 2 . By comparison, it is the size of the United Republic of Tanzania or Nigeria, almost twice the size of France, and 2.5 times the size of Germany or Japan. We assume that not all of the areas are of economic interest, but they all participate in the resource model. Linearly, the east‐west extent of the reserved areas along the east‐west direction is approximately 4,000 kilometres and the north‐south extent is somewhat over 1,000 kilometres. By comparison, to fly over the entire area with an Airbus 340‐300 airplane flying at its maximum speed of 900 km/h would take a little less than five hours. Travelling by sea on an oceanographic ship, such as the Ronald H. Brown of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), cruising at a speed of 12 knots, it would take nine days to cross the reserved areas from west to east. 3. Bathymetry of the reserved areas Figure 2 The ocean floor in the reserved areas lies at depths between 4,300 to 5,300 metres. By comparison, Mont Blanc in France peaks at 4,800 metres above sea level. Figure 3 contains a schematic presentation of the bathymetry of the seafloor in the reserved areas in the Pacific Ocean. 44 | P age
