• Dixon_Entrance abstract "The Dixon Entrance is a strait about 80 kilometres (50 mi) long and wide in the Pacific Ocean at the International Boundary between the U.S. state of Alaska and the province of British Columbia in Canada. It was named by Joseph Banks for Captain George Dixon, a Royal Navy officer, fur trader, and explorer, who surveyed the area in 1787. The Dixon Entrance is part of the Inside Passage shipping route. It forms part of the maritime boundary between the U.S. and Canada, although the location of that boundary here is disputed. A name used in the Haida is Seegaay, which means only \"ocean\".The Dixon Entrance lies between Clarence Strait in the Alexander Archipelago in Alaska to the north, and Hecate Strait and the islands known as Haida Gwaii (the Queen Charlotte Islands) in British Columbia, to the south. Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, is the largest of the Alaskan islands on the north side of the entrance, and is also home to a branch of the Haida, known as the Kaigani Haida. Members of the Haida nation maintain free access across the Strait.The so-called \"A-B\" line (approximately 54°40'N), which marks the northern boundary of the Dixon Entrance, was delineated by a court of arbitration set up by the 1903 Alaska Boundary Treaty. The meaning of the line remains in dispute between Canada and the United States. Canada claims the line is the international maritime boundary, while the United States holds that its purpose was only to designate the land masses belonging to each country. Hence, the U.S. does not recognize the \"A-B\" line as an official boundary (to govern, for example, seafloor resources or fishing rights). In 1977 the U.S. defined a maritime boundary as an equidistant line between land masses.The two differing boundary lines intersect to create four separate water areas with different claim status. The two areas south of the \"A-B\" line (about 2789 km2 and 51.5 km2 in size) are claimed by both countries. The other two water areas are north of the \"A-B\" line and are not claimed by either country. The two unclaimed areas are about 72 km2 and 1.4 km2 in size. In addition, Nunez Rocks is a low-tide elevation (\"bare at half-tide\") that lies south of the \"A-B\" line near Cape Chacon. It is surrounded by the sea territory claimed by the U.S. From the U.S. point-of-view, Nunez Rocks is a Canadian exclave, while from Canada's perspective, it is an internal island. Territorial fishing disputes between the countries remain today, as the United States has never shown the \"A-B\" line as a boundary on its government maps.".
