Post #140,288 by Andrew Grygus 2/6/04 1:20:35 PM Reply	International waters limit . . Traditionally this was set at maximum canon range, so 3 miles. Today's canon are considerably better, so many countries claim 20 miles. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
Post #140,292 by Andrew Grygus 2/6/04 1:39:00 PM Reply	12-miles / 200-miles (nautical) by international treaty. The International "Law of the Sea" treaty specifies 12 miles and an "exclusive economic zone" of 200 miles. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
Post #140,289 by boxley 2/6/04 1:30:31 PM Reply	International waters is 3 miles , sphere of influence is 200 which is arbitrarily set by the coatal coultries. The US holds that up to 200 miles offshore they can regulate fisheries and transportation. This of course is claimed in the Carribean as well with the US only recognising 3 miles off of the Island nations as being non US waters. thanx, bill I do hold an englishman's brothel is his castle , where he should behave accordingly--as many flash tails as he likes , but none of the troop fornications that the orientals and germans indulge in. Its not the indecency I mind , but the company of a lot of boozy brutes hallooing and kicking up a deuce of a row when I want to concentrate and give off my best. A regular bacchanalia is something to see right enough, but I am with the discriminating Frog who said that one is interesting, but only a cad would make a habit of it.
