The exclusive economic zone of Somalia covers 830,389 km in the Indian Ocean. It extends to a distance of 200 nautical miles from the baselines, from which the breadth of the territorial waters of Somalia is measured. In accordance with Law No. 37 passed in 1972, Somalia's EEZ falls under its territorial sovereignty.

Misleading
Natural resources
Somalia has the longest coastline on mainland Africa, and some of the continent's richest fish stocks. The abundance in fisheries in the area is a result of the coastal upwelling of cold nutrient-rich subsurface oceanic waters. The upwelling results in the enrichment of phytoplankton and zooplankton, which, in turn, make the conditions favorable for some small pelagic fish such as sardines, herring, and scad. Misleading.
