    What does eastern mean in the context of the Pacific ocean? Is it eastern in relation to the prime meridian, which would imply somewhere around Oceania, or is it eastern relative to the ante meridian, meaning off the western coast of the Americas? I feel like this is a dumb question, but my brain is stuck.
