Title: Three Nautical Mile Limit - Hawaii
Originator: Hawaii Statewide GIS Program
Publication Date: January 25, 2016
Description:
Abstract:
The three nautical mile (3 nmi) limit refers to a traditional and now largely obsolete maritime boundary that defined a country's territorial waters, for the purposes of trade regulation and exclusivity, as extending as far as the reach of cannons fired from land. In its place, the Territorial Sea boundary at 12 nmi was established as the international norm by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Purpose: PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in the U.S. Pacific Islands region.
