Abstract
Within the last 50 years, new forms of national authority have been created in order to expand coastal state jurisdiction over the ocean. The trend toward more extensive national authority over ever increasing areas has culminated in the 200‐mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ). This article postulates the next logical step: The enclosure of the rest of the ocean. The regulation of increasing numbers of activities within the EEZ and the extension of authority beyond 200 miles are examined. The conclusion is that the advent of EEZs has made it likely that limited forms of national jurisdiction will expand to encompass the rest of the globe.
