Talk:Gulf of Aden

The 1953 IHO document does not recognize any Gulf of Tadjoura – according to that document, at least as far as I can tell, the water at Tadjoura is simply part of the Gulf of Aden. Please provide a reliable source proving that the Gulf of Tadjoura has received the proper international recognition and that the limits of the Gulf of Aden have legitimately been changed.

The newer draft IHO document from 2000 makes it very clear that the Gulf of Tadjoura is not separate, and is still a part of the Gulf of Aden. I'm removing the mistaken addition that was calling it a separate body of water. TooManyFingers (talk) 23:38, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

The 2000 IHO document does change the dividing line between the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. The 1953 line begins at Cape Guardafui / Ras Caseyr and goes exactly north to an arbitrary point on the Yemeni coast. The 2000 line begins in the same place, but goes northeast to Ras Fartk / Ras Fartak. Do what you like with that; the newer info is not officially published, but only because Japan and Korea have a standing disagreement on what to call the body of water between them, and the IHO is not siding with either party.

@TooManyFingers what are you suggesting? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 15:20, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

@Abo Yemen I'm suggesting that the name "Gulf of Tadjoura" should be deleted everywhere it appears. TooManyFingers (talk) 20:51, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
