International waters, also known as the high seas, typically begin 12 nautical miles (about 13.8 miles or 22.2 kilometers) from a country's coastline. Off the coast of Louisiana, this means that international waters start approximately 12 nautical miles from the state’s shoreline. Beyond this limit, the waters are not under the jurisdiction of any single nation.
