The Exclusive Economic Zone Act No. 3 of 25 August 1977, as amended by the Exclusive Economic Zone Amendment Act 1980. The exclusive economic zone of Western Samoa comprises those areas of the sea, sea bed, and subsoil
that are beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea of Western Samoa, having as their outer limits a line measured
seaward from the baseline described in sections 5 and 6 of the Territorial Sea Act 1971, every point of which line is
distant 200 nautical miles from the nearest point of the baseline.
Based on the Samoa Maritime Zones Order 2017 which repealed the Maritime Zones Order 2014, the points to be used for
determining the outer limits of the territorial sea are 12 nautical miles from the baseline. The list of the coordinates are stated under the Samoa Maritime Zones Order 2017.
