A coastal state has jurisdiction over its territorial water,  which extends up to 12 nautical miles out from the coast.  A nautical mile is equivalent to 1.151 miles or 1.852 kilometers (which is the same as 1.151 miles…).  The nautical mile is very helpful in navigation with charts and maps because the unit is roughly the same as a minute of latitude, thus it’s easy to measure distance on maps that use such dividers.  Also, a knot is equivalent to 1 nautical mile per hour.  I don’t know how to wrap this one up, because I know that not-jokes aren’t funny anymore.

KNOT!!!!

But seriously, they’re not funny.
