        Title: 
          Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) - U.S.-Affiliated Pacifc Islands
    Description: 
      Abstract: 
        These boundaries represent the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) for 
        U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands, including Hawaii, American Samoa, the 
        Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the Federated 
        States of Micronesia (FSM), Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands 
        (RMI), the Republic of Palau, as well as the U.S. Minor Outlying 
        Islands of Baker Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston 
        Atoll, Kingman Reef, Midway Atoll, Palmyra Atoll, and Wake Island. 
        Under the law of the sea, an EEZ is a sea zone over which a state has 
        special rights over the exploration and use of marine resources. It 
        stretches out to 200 nautical miles from its coast.
      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.
