exclusive economic zone

Read a random definition: Claims Court, U.S.

A quick definition of exclusive economic zone:

An exclusive economic zone is an area of ocean that is just beyond a country's territorial sea. It extends up to 200 nautical miles from the baseline of the territorial sea. In this zone, the country has special authority for economic purposes. This means they have the right to explore and use the natural resources found in this area, such as fish and oil.

A more thorough explanation:

Exclusive Economic Zone

An Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is an area of ocean that extends up to 200 nautical miles from a country's coastline. Within this zone, the country has special rights to explore, use, and manage the natural resources found in the water and on the ocean floor. These resources can include fish, oil, gas, and minerals.

For example, Canada has an EEZ in the Arctic Ocean, which allows them to manage the fishing industry and oil and gas exploration in that area. Similarly, Australia has an EEZ around its coastline, which gives them control over the natural resources found in the Great Barrier Reef.

Another example is the EEZ of the United States, which covers a vast area of the Pacific Ocean around Hawaii. This zone allows the US to regulate fishing and protect marine life in that region.

The examples illustrate how countries can use their Exclusive Economic Zones to manage and protect the natural resources found in the ocean. By having control over these areas, countries can ensure that these resources are used sustainably and for the benefit of their citizens.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
