it seems a nice new hat actually for some mostly familiar ideas<br/>
<br/>
the only significant thing it misses i think is the protruding <br/>
continental shelf rule <br/>
which effectively extends the eez on the seabed sometimes far <br/>
beyond the normal limit of 200nm from coastal baselines<br/>
<br/>
i think caus for example on the atlantic side<br/>
issuing from the bay of fundy between maine & new brunswick<br/>
runs all the way down the continental slope <br/>
& thus practically a third of the way to bermuda<br/>
<br/>
in fact right past cape cod & long island <br/>
& almost to the latitude of new brunswick as in new jersey iirc<br/>

i believe it could be<br/>
& depends entirely on the actual intent<br/>

just cruising unthreateningly thru the straits of hormuz<br/>
probably cant legally be opposed or prevented by anyone<br/>

html, but how does this differ from territorial waters?<br/>
<br/>
not sure because it seems to get ignored in favor of & by <br/>
comparison with the much clearer 12nm & 200nm limits<br/>
but i think it is mainly for extending the right of hot pursuit<br/>
& similarly obscure technicalities<br/>
