Exclusive economic zone (EEZ)
The exclusive economic zone is adjacent to the territorial sea and extends to a maximum distance of 200 nautical miles calculated from the baselines. This is a space in which the coastal State do not practice its entire sovereignty but only the following rights:
- sovereign rights over the water column, the bed and subsoil for the purposes of:
- exploration, exploitation, conservation and management of natural resources, whether biological or not;
- exploration and exploitation of the zone for economic purposes, such as the production of energy from water, currents and wind;
- jurisdiction concerning the following fields:
- construction and use of artificial islands, facilities and works;
- marine scientific research;
- protection and preservation of the marine environment.
Apart from the rights and obligations of the coastal States cited above, the exclusive economic zone is a space open to the exercise by any other State of the freedoms set down in the United Nations Convention on the law of the sea (UNCLOS) (navigation, overflight, etc.), within the limits set by the Convention.
