U.S. Extends Limit Of Territorial Waters To 12 Miles Off Coast The U.S. became the 105th nation to formally extend its territorial waters to 12 miles off its coast from the former 3-mile limit after a re- cent proclamation was issued by President Reagan. The extension of U.S. territorial waters will not affect fishing or min- eral rights, and no major changes are foreseen for ship operations. The 12-mile limit, which went into effect immediately, will apply to the waters off the coastal U.S., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands and other U.S. ter- ritories and possessions. 3.
