                  Background:
                  A spring 2000 decision by the International Hydrographic
                  Organization delimited a fifth world ocean from the southern
                  portions of the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Pacific
                  Ocean. The new ocean extends from the coast of Antarctica
                  north to 60 degrees south latitude which coincides with the
                  Antarctic Treaty Limit. The Pacific Ocean remains the largest
                  of the world's five oceans (followed by the Atlantic Ocean,
                  Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Arctic Ocean). |
