The Code of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) was amended to include the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), to increase the size of its Territorial Sea and to be inclusive of the current political status of FSM and other purpose as it deem fit (16 December 1988)

Based on section 102 and 103 of the Act that amends the Code of the Federated States of Micronesia, it describes the territorial sea as being established by twelve nautical miles' breadth. The inner boundary of the Territorial Sea of each island or atoll is the baseline. The outer boundary is a line, every point of which is twelve nautical miles seaward of the nearest point of the baseline.
