eksklusivøkonomiske

The term "eksklusivøkonomiske" is a Danish word that translates to "exclusive economic" in English. It is often used in the context of maritime law and international relations to refer to an Exclusive Economic Zone, or EEZ. An EEZ is an area of the sea extending 200 nautical miles from the baseline of a coastal state, within which that state has sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring and exploiting, conserving, and managing the natural resources, both living and non-living, of the waters superjacent to the seabed and of the seabed and its subsoil.

Coastal states have jurisdiction over economic activities within their EEZ, including the production of energy from water and wind. They also have rights concerning the establishment and use of artificial islands, installations, and structures, as well as marine scientific research and the protection and preservation of the marine environment. Other states retain freedom of navigation and overflight in the EEZ, and the right to lay submarine cables and pipelines. The concept of the EEZ was established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982. Denmark, like many other coastal nations, has established its own EEZ, encompassing areas around Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The management and utilization of resources within these zones are crucial for the nation's economy and resource security.
