I hate to burst your girlfriend's bubble, but twelve natuical miles is the generally accepted limit.

I'll see if I can find the paper she wrote when I get home and check the references, and I'll post it. Sorry bout the mis-info!

No problem, and the Canucks have their own unique views on the subject so maybe her paper got an A in Canada.

If she is right, I have a law school professor that participated in drafting the most recent law of the sea treaty and some superiors in the Navy JAG Corps that are going to be in for quite a shock.
