#' NAFO areas
#'
#' Definition for FAO Northwest Atlantic (Major Fishing Area 21) area coding system. NAFO areas as used in Norwegian fisheries reporting.

#' A single polygon is defined for Subarea 21.0 and 21.5, and two for subarea 21.6.
#' For subarea 21.6, one polygon comprise Division 21.6.A-C, and one 21.6.D-H
#'
#' For Division 21.3P and 21.4V a polygon is defined for each subdivision.
#'
#' Polygons are defined in WGS84 coordinates (unprojected).
