Soudan Banks
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Soudan Banks are part of the Territories of Mauritius, claimed as part of its territory and used economicallly (ie fishng banks). There are five banks. North Soudan contains large salmon stocks. South Soudan is the largest, with many reefs and passes. West Soudan is small and isn't a popular fishing spot, partly because it is too shallow and rocky to obtain much fish. Central Soudan is the most fished area, with huge reefs and open waters containing huge abundants of fish. East Soudan, until the 1970s, was considered a completely different location altogether. The other banks are closely linked, separated by small shallows or channels. East Soudan, however, is located more than 100 miles away from the other banks. It is possible for new land to rise from the banks, which will automatically be claimed by Mauritius.
