Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Territorial waters are 18.2 kilometers from the shore of the nation. The waters were not meant to
include straits that were meant for international navigation. Information can be found in the section
The Law of the Sea Governs Marine Resource Allocation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Minke whale is the smallest and most abundant whale species. This may not last for long,
however, because both of these countries have plans to increase the number of these whales caught for
scientific purposes. Information can be found in the section Biological Resources.
