exclusive economic zone (EEZ) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
An area beyond but adjacent to a state\'s territorial sea, not extending beyond 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which its territorial sea is measured. (A nautical mile is 1.1515 miles, or 1.852 kilometres.) The coastal state does not have the kind of general jurisdiction – i.e. sovereignty (sense 2) – over the EEZ which it has over its territory; but it does have sovereign rights over all the zone\'s economic resources: those in the waters above the sea-bed, on the sea-bed, and in its subsoil. |
