The exclusive economic zone of Somalia.

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.

This is misleading

Proclamation of EEZ

On 30 June 2014, the President of Somalia Hasan Sheikh Mohamud proclaimed the exclusive economic zone of Somalia in relation to the Somali Maritime Law of 1988 passed by the Somali parliament. It stipulates that the Federal Republic of Somalia has: Misleading

Sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring and exploiting, conserving and managing the natural resources, whether living or non-living, of the seabed and subsoil and the superjacent waters, and with regard to other activities for the economic exploration and exploitation of the zone, such as the production of energy from water, currents and winds.misleadinf

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.
