No references found | The UN Conference on the Law of the Sea 1958, and subsequently the UNCLOS, describe the continental shelf as "the seabed and subsoil of the submarine areas adjacent to the coast but outside the area of the territorial sea, to a depth of 200 meters, or, beyond that limit, to where the depth of the superjacent waters admits of the exploitation of the natural resources of the said areas. Coastal-state sovereign rights in the zone are limited to the seabed, its subsoil, and the waters superjacent to the seabed, with one exception--the coastal state has sovereign rights with regard to the production of energy from the winds (UNCLOS article 56). In the exclusive economic zone, the coastal State has: (a) sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring and exploiting, conserving and managing the natural resources, whether living or non-living, of the waters superjacent to the seabed and of the seabed and its subsoil, and with regard to other activities for the economic exploitation and exploration of the zone, such as the production of energy from the water, currents and winds. |
