Niue: South Pacific
built 628 days ago
Niue is legendary amongst in-the-know fishermen. The steep drop off to the abyss on the edge of the Pacific Plate provides fishing just metres off shore. Large predatory fish use Niue as a marker and stopover point. Big game and sport fishing are excellent.

The territorial waters of Niue ... include two outlying reefs that contain no permanently dry land: Beverige Reef (lat. -19.994, lon. -167.830) located 225 km to the southeast and Antiope Reef (lat. -18.244, lon. -168.457) located 160 km to the northeast (400 m across and completely submerged with a least depth of 10 m). Sometimes an additional breaking reef known as Haran (or Harans) Reef (lat. -21.543, lon. -168.920) located 281 km south-southeast from Niue and 197 km southwest from Bevrige Reef is said to exist; its existence is likey false and dates from a dubious sighting in the mid 19th Century — all that can be found in this region is a solitary seamount with a least depth of around 1,000 m. The primary importance of these reefs lies in the fact that they considerably extend the EEZ of Niue — to the region of 390,000 km².
