Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Territorial waters were defined in the 1982 treaty. These extend 18.2 kilometers from shore. A nation has jurisdiction over these areas with the exception of the international navigation straits.
The exclusive economic zone is the 200 nautical miles from a nation's shoreline. The high seas were regions that were considered to be common property.
The value of protecting the ocean and the prevention of pollution was supported in this treaty.
There was encouragement of free scientific research.
The United States did not want to share resources found in the high seas. They did not want to recognize this area as a common area.
