Could anyone provide a clear explanation of the difference between territorial waters and the EEZ under the Law of the Sea? Beyond the obvious geographic distinction (nautical miles from baseline shore), I'm having a tough time discerning how the coastal state's rights and responsibilities differ between the two.
(My apologies for the ignorant question. A couple hours of internet searches and a query to an expert didn't get me there, and I figure there must be a straightforward answer.)
