Here's an interesting one. The typical translation of this is the Bay of Gibraltar, but it's come up in a press release concerning the various port authorities of Spain, one of which is the "Autoridad Portuaria de Bahía de Algeciras". I was going to translate the names directly into English (e.g. Valencia Port Authority) without putting a translation in brackets, etc., because of the nature of the text, but this is a tricky one because of the added political connotations. The port authorities are essentially an arm of the Spanish government. What do you think?
Don't translate it, it's a proper name (uninformative);
Put a translation in brackets after the Spanish name (cumbersome and several other port authorities from other countries are mentioned in Spanish eg Marsella, so I would have to use their original names as well, which I don't have);
Bay of Algeciras Port Authority (wrong?);
Bay of Gibraltar Port Authority (controversial/wrong?)
Sense and reference. Good example of how they aren't the same thing.

| Hmmm, links don't seem to work for me, but Manuel Morón is elsewhere referred to as the "Chairman of the Algeciras Port Authority": http://www.portworld.com/news/i64422/Algeciras_Port_Authority_to_open_tender_for_Isla_Verde_Expansion |
