Malin Sea
The Malin Sea is a marginal sea of the North-East Atlantic over the Malin Shelf, the continental shelf north of Ireland and southwest of Scotland. It is connected to the Irish Sea by the North Channel, and overlaps the Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland. Of the UK Shipping Forecast areas, the Malin Sea covers most of Malin, and by some definitions extends into Rockall.〔OSPAR 2000, fig. 2.2〕 The area is within the exclusive economic zones of Ireland and the United Kingdom.
==Extent==
Different authorities give different limits for the Malin Sea. The 2002 draft of the International Hydrographic Organization's ''Limits of Seas'' publication lists "Malin Sea" as a synonym of Inner Seas off the West Coast of Scotland.〔; cited in Dormels 2010〕 Hardisty defines it separately from the Minches and Sea of the Hebrides, which are parts of the Inner Seas; Dormels interprets Hardisty's definition as corresponding to roughly the southern half of the Inner Seas.〔 cited in Dormels 2010〕 Banner defines it as "from the Irish Coast to lat. 56°20′N and from the Continental Shelf break to Kintyre, comprising an area of more than 14,000 km2." Cooper et al. define the Malin Sea's southern limit as from Inishowen to Rathlin Island. The Scottish Government's Marine Atlas divides its coastal waters into habitats, one being "Minches and Malin Sea", defined as "north from the Mull of Kintyre to Cape Wrath incorporating the sea area between the Scottish mainland and the Western Isles".
