This Decree of the Kingdom establishes a fishery zone for the Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. The outer limit of the zone is the one as agreed upon with other States.

The limits toward other territories for which a zone is established by this Decree are prescribed by Acts of the Kingdom establishing the borders for each territory. The Kingdom of the Netherlands shall exercise sovereign jurisdiction with respect to matters of fisheries in the zone as limited by international law.
