North American coast. The Archipelago extends along a south
east-north-west strip and is encompassed by the longitude of 25º to
31º-15” West and a latitude of 36º-55” to 39º 45” North.
The
archipelago is the western border of the European Economic Community
and occupies a total area of 2,333 km2. Due to the geographical
dispersion of the islands it encompasses an Exclusive Economic Zone of
approximately 940,000 km2.
The resident population of the nine islands
totals 237,000 people.Due to the
geographical location of the islands they are divided into three groups
based on their relative proximity:
the Eastern group including Santa Maria and São Miguel, the Central group including Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico and Faial and the Western group including Flores and Corvo.
The minimum distance between two islands is 6 km (Pico and Faial) and
