English-Finnish translations for continental shelf

  • mannerjalustaSe on erilainen, koska Välimerellä sijaitseva mannerjalusta on kapea. It is different because of the narrowness of the continental shelf that is found there. Kreikan mannerjalusta on kuitenkin myös osa Euroopan mannerjalustaa, enkä ole havainnut EU:n tehneen mitään suojellakseen suvereniteettioikeuksiaan tällä alueella. The Greek continental shelf is also part of the European continental shelf and I see no concern on the part of Europe in protecting its sovereign rights in the area. Sen lisäksi niiltä puuttuu mannerjalusta, joten kalastustoimintaa harjoitetaan itse asiassa niin kutsutuilla "merenalaisilla vuorilla". Added to which is the lack of a continental shelf, meaning that fishing essentially takes place on what are referred to as ‘submarine hills’.

Definition of continental shelf
