The convention set the limit of territorial waters to 12 nautical miles (22 km), in which area the coastal state is free to set laws, regulate any use, and use any resource. Vessels were given the right of "innocent passage" through any territorial waters, with strategic straits allowing the passage of military craft as "transit passage", in that naval vessels are allowed to maintain postures that would be illegal in territorial waters. Beyond the 12 nautical mile (22 km) limit there was a further 12 nautical mile (22 km) or 24 nautical miles (44 km) from the territorial sea baselines limit, the "contiguous zone", in which area a state could continue to enforce laws regarding activities such as smuggling or illegal immigration.\n\nThe exclusive economic zones (EEZ) extended the exploitation rights of coastal nations to 200 nautical miles (370 km) from shore, covering all natural resources. \n\nThe EEZ were introduced to halt the increasingly heated clashes over fishing rights, although oil was also becoming important. The success of an offshore oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico in 1947 was soon repeated elsewhere in the world, by 1970 it was technically feasible to operate in waters 4000 metres deep.\n\nThe convention set the definition of Archipelagic States in Part IV, which also define how the state can draw its teritorial borders. A baseline is drawn between the outermost points of the outermost islands. All waters inside this baseline is described as Archipelagic Waters and are included as part of the state's territory. \n\nThis baseline is also used to chart its territorial waters 12 nautical miles (22 km) from the baseline and EEZ 200 nautical miles (370 km) from the baseline.

History and convenience.\n\nBefore calculators, decimal fractions were troublesome.  360 could be divided by many values using simple fractions.  A nautical mile is one minute (1/60th of a degree) of latitude.  The 24-hour day can be divided into time zones by 15 degree bands.

A unit of distance called a mile was first used by the Romans and originally denoted a distance of 1,000 (double) steps (mille passuum in Latin), which amounted, at approximately 29 inches (0.74 m) per (single) step, to 1,618 yards (1,480 m), or 5,000 Roman feet, per mile.\n\nA statute of the English parliament during the reign of Elizabeth I established the statute mile as eight furlongs or 1,760 yards; that is, 5,280 feet or 63,360 inches\n\nThe U.S. survey mile is based on an inch defined by 1 metre = 39.37 inches exactly. It is equal to 5,280 U.S. survey feet, 6,336/3,937 km or approximately 1,609.347 metres\n\nGood luck

Its spelt 'klick' and it is a common military term meaning kilometre (or sometimes kilometres per hour). Its use became popular among soldiers in Vietnam during the 1960s, although veterans of the war recall its usage as early as the 1950s. Its origin is sometimes linked with the Australian Army in Korea.

One minute of latitude is very close to one nautical mile or 1852 metres.\nTherefore:\n1 degree = 111,120 meters = 36,4562 feet\n1 minute = 1852 meters = 6,076 feet\n1 second = 30 meters = 101 feet
