Coastal countries tend to have jurisdictions that go out about 200 nautical miles, in areas that are called exclusive economic zones, and this is a good thing that they can control their fisheries in these areas, because the high seas, which are the darker areas on this map, the high seas, it's a lot harder to control things, because it has to be done internationally.
U obalnim državama obično zakon dopušta plovidbu do 200 nautičkih milja od obale u području koje se naziva  ekskluzivna gospodarska zona, i dobro je da mogu kontrolirati svoje ribarske brodove u tom području, jer na otvorenom moru, koje je zacrnjeno na karti, na otvorenom moru, puno  je teže kontrolirati situaciju, jer se radi o međunarodnom prostoru.
