The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) defines the boundaries of oceans and seas. According to the IHO definition (specifically S-23, Limits of Oceans and Seas, 3rd Edition, 1953), the meridian of 146°55′ E running south from the southern extremity of Tasmania forms part of the boundary between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean (separating the Great Australian Bight from the Tasman Sea). Cape of Tasmania is the southern point of Tasmania.
