First sentence: A new paradigm in ocean use was initiated in 1982 when the United Nations (U.N.) Law of the Sea Convention established Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) up to 200 nautical miles from the baselines of territorial seas, granting coastal states sovereign rights to explore, manage, and conserve the natural resources of the zones.
