Oceanographic Features and Coaxxxx Xxpography Sample Clauses

Oceanographic Features and Coaxxxx Xxpography. Each of the three main island groups (the Gilbert Group in the west, the Phoenix Group in the centre, and the Line Islands in the east) is surrounded by its own discrete portion of the EEZ. As the islands are distant from each other, this provides a total EEZ of 3.5 million square kilometres. These islands, which total only 810 km² in area and 1,961 km of coastline, consist of low-lying (max 4 m) coral atolls are surrounded by fringing or barrier coral reefs, with the exception of Banaba which is a raised (87 m high) limestone island. The distance between the eastern and western extremes of the EEZ is over 4,500 km. The total continental shelf area is 2,666 km² and the territorial sea (up to 12 nautical miles) is around 71,961 km² in area. Kiritimati which lies just north of the equator and some 2,566 km west and north of Tarawa is the largest island in Kiribati and the largest purely coralline island in the world. The major NW portion of the island encloses a large lagoon studded with coral patches which is exposed to easterly winds axx xxrrents. In general the archipelago’’s islands have sandy, rubbly, coral soils and even on islands with high rainfall drought conditions occur frequently because of the porosity of the soils. The climate is influenced by the steady flow of the north-east and south- east trade winds towards the equator. These winds converge to form a band of low pressure tropical air which generally brings disturbed showery weather. Mean annual temperature is 28°C. Rainfall varies considerably and tends to increase with distance from the equator. The wettest months are from December to February; the driest are August, September and October. There are no rivers, lakes or other freshwater impoundments in Kiribati, and therefore no freshwater fisheries. Generally the tides in Kiribati conform to the mid-ocean standard ranges - from about 0.5m at neaps to nearly 2m at springs. The marine environment in this area is strongly influenced by the major equatorial current systems, particularly the westward-flowing South Equatorial Current (SECN) and the eastward-flowing equatorial undercurrent. The equatorial upwelling, a result of the interaction of the equatorial current and easxxxxx xrade winds, frequently occurs in the vicinity of the Gilbert Islands. The upwelling brings to the surface nutrient-rich water, which provides suitable conditions for high primary and secondary production. These conditions are thought to provide the forage base for th...
