Hoburg Shoal, also known as Hoburgs bank,[2] is a shoal located in the Baltic Sea, in the southern zone of the Gotland shelf, south of Hoburgen.
The shoal is a bird reserve encompassing about 1,226.28 km2 (473.47 sq mi).[2]
It is a long shoal, comprising a northern and a southern section, that lies to the south of the Storsudret peninsula in Sundre socken on the southern tip of Gotland, Sweden.[3][4] The submerged shoal's water depths range between about 15 and 40 metres (49 and 131 ft).[5]
As of 2016[update], a pipeline is projected that may cross the area of the shoal.[citation needed]
