Abstract: 

The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), as recognized by the Law of the Sea, is a zone over which a country or state has special rights for better control over its maritime affairs. The Zone, in most cases, extends for 200 nautical miles (370 km) beyond the territorial waters of the country or state, which may be between 3 and 12 nautical miles from the coastline.
