Falkland Islands Potential Southern Falklands MMA: Option 2 of 3

The dataset (a polygon feature) shows the Option 2 (out of 3) for a potential Southern Falklands Marine Management Area. The area has been proposed as part of the AFCAS (Assessment of Fishing Closure Areas as Sites for wider marine management in the Falkland Islands) case study. The area is still classified as "proposed" as there is need of further discussion with the local stakeholders, including Falkland Islands Petroleum Licencee's Association (FIPLA) and the Falkland Islands Department of Mineral Resources (DMR).
