The demarcation of the Baltic Sea is a line stretching from Vinga, outside the port of Göteborg (Gothenburg) to Skagen (the Skaw), Denmark's most northerly point. Waters to the north of this demarcation line, i.e. the Skaggerrak, are considered part of the North Sea.
For practical purposes, the Skaggerrak is frequently grouped together with the Kattegatt which is the area between the demarcation line and the Danish islands of Fyn and Sjaeland.
The Baltic extends from the demarcation line to the Gulf of Bothnia where Sweden shares a border with Finland and into the Gulf of Finland and the Russian port of St. Petersburg.
