The Geographical Sub-Areas (GSAs) were established under the RES-GFCM/33/2009/2 - Establishment of Geographical Sub-Areas in the GFCM area amending the resolution GFCM/31/2007/2.

This dataset, published via WFS by the Planning Authority of Malta, provides the boundary of GSA15, the Geographical Sub-Area in which the Maltese Islands are located. Geographical Sub-Areas were established under GFCM resolution RES-GFCM/33/2009/2 (amending GFCM/31/2007/2) to define fisheries management zones within the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean area. Only GSA15 is included in this layer; other sub-areas must be sourced elsewhere. The data supports spatial analysis and reference for fisheries management and marine planning around the Maltese Islands, accessible through a standard OGC Web Feature Service interface for integration into GIS systems.
