The Russian and United States Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) in the Bering Sea are adjacent and share a maritime boundary. The maritime boundary between the EEZs of the two countries is defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Under UNCLOS, the maritime boundary is located midway between the two countries’ nearest points.<\/p>\n

The present Russia-United States maritime boundary is at 168° 58′ 37″ W longitude, slightly south of the Arctic Circle at about 65° 40′ N latitude. The Strait is named after Vitus Bering, a Danish explorer in the service of the Russian Empire. Bering was the first European to sight the strait that bears his name.<\/p>\n

The Bering Sea is a marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean. It comprises a deepwater basin, which then rises through a narrow sill to a shallow water shelf. The Bering Sea is separated from the Gulf of Alaska by the Alaska Peninsula. It covers 1,290,000 square miles and is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south, the Arctic Coast of Alaska to the west, and Russia’s Chukotka Peninsula and Kamchatka Peninsula to the east. The Bering Sea is named for Vitus Bering, a Danish navigator in Russian service, who in 1728 was the first European to note the narrow Bering Strait between Asia and North America.<\/p>\n
