marine area Explanation: I would probably write 'land and sea area' or 'territory and marine area'. 'Territory and maritory' sounds a bit strange. This dataset contains information about species of national environmental significance as listed in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Data provided includes: - species names and threatened status - indicative occurrence within each state, territory and marine area https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/threatened-species-state-li... Terrestrial and marine protected areas (% of total territorial area) World Database on Protected Areas ( WDPA ) where the compilation and management is carried out by United Nations Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre ( UNEP-WCMC ) in collaboration with governments, non-governmental organizations, academia and industry. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ER.PTD.TOTL.ZS -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2020-10-27 22:06:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Terrestrial area includes total land area and inland waters. Marine areas, also known as territorial seas, are defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as belts of coastal waters extending at most twelve nautical miles from the baseline (usually the mean low-water mark) of a coastal state. http://mdgs.un.org/unsd/mi/wiki/7-6-Proportion-of-terrestria... You might find the following information useful: The term territorial waters is sometimes used informally to refer to any area of water over which a state has jurisdiction, including internal waters, the territorial sea, the contiguous zone, the exclusive economic zone and potentially the continental shelf. In a narrower sense, the term is used as a synonym for the territorial sea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_waters -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2020-10-27 22:09:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The total area of a country's/territory's terrestrial protected areas and marine protected areas in territorial waters is divided by the total area of its land areas (including inland waters) and territorial waters to obtain the relative coverage (percentage) of protected areas. https://databank.worldbank.org/metadataglossary/millennium-d... |
