Exclusive economic zone (EEZ)
The sea area, out to 200 nautical miles, where a coastal state holds sovereign rights over resources.
An exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is the area of sea extending up to 200 nautical miles from a coastal state's baselines, within which that state holds sovereign rights over natural resources: fisheries, energy and seabed minerals. For many nations the EEZ is far larger than their land territory and far harder to watch. Governing it requires maritime domain awareness: the waters a state cannot see, it cannot protect or tax.
How this plays out in programmes
For many coastal states the exclusive economic zone is far larger than their land territory and far harder to watch, and the waters a state cannot see, it cannot protect or tax. Unstrat helps such buyers govern their EEZ by building the maritime domain awareness that makes it visible: satellite surveillance and fisheries analytics that reveal what is happening across sovereign waters. The advantage is the ability to protect the nation's rights over fisheries, energy and seabed resources rather than ceding them by default. A visible EEZ lets patrol assets go where they are needed and supports the mission of asserting lawful control over the sea area. Sourcing from independent manufacturers keeps that picture under national ownership. As the accountable single channel, Unstrat integrates the layers into one capability. Localisation arrangements are scoped per programme, subject to export controls and end-use approvals.
