Territorial waters extend 12 nautical miles (about 13.8 regular miles) from the baseline of a coastal state like California. Within this zone, the state has full sovereignty and exclusive rights for various purposes, including security and resource management. Beyond the territorial waters lie the contiguous zone and the exclusive economic zone, each with its own set of rights and regulations.
