Question

Littoral (coastal) states do not end where atlas maps suggest they do. What is the term for the area of water where a coastal state has the right to economic exploration and exploitation of marine resources

Answer 1

The correct answer will be "high sea".

Step-by-step explanation:

• Coastal states seemed to have a growing investment in national intelligence and law compliance to preserve and protect their trade as well as underwater assets.
• Consequently, a compromise was required to preserve the navigational independence on which many international maritime concerns had depended.

So that the above would be the correct choice.
