Canada's exclusive economic zone and territorial waters
The exclusive economic zone of Canada is the area of the sea in which Canada has special rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources, as prescribed by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.[1]
Canada's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is the 7th-largest in the world.[2] It is unusual in that its EEZ, covering 5,599,077 km2 (2,161,816 sq mi), is slightly smaller than its territorial waters.[3] The latter generally extend only 12 nautical miles from the shore, but also include inland marine waters such as Hudson Bay—about 300 nautical miles (560 km; 350 mi) across—the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and the internal waters of the Arctic archipelago.
