You see, each country that has access to seas or oceans has it’s exclusive rights to up to 200 nautical miles. This way the EEZ of the country is formed. In case of Russia this caused a strange situation in the Sea of Okhotsk because although the sea is almost fully surrounded by Russia’s land there was an area right in the middle of the sea that was more than 200 nautical miles from any Russian sore, so technically this area called the Peanut Hole was considered international waters inside the Russian EEZ. But we’ll talk more about all of this in this video, so make sure you do not miss it. Feel free to write your opinion about this in the commnets. Hope you’ll enjoy the video! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transcript: This area here was Russia’s biggest nightmare. You see, according to international law the exclusive economic zone of a country can span 200 nautical miles from the coastline. This lead to a strange situation here in The Sea of Okhotsk. Being surrounded by Russian territory on all sides, most of it falls within the 200 nautical miles range of the Russian EEZ except for this area called The Peanut Hole. This mean that The Peanut Hole is actually international waters. In 1990s, other countries discovered this legal technicality and decided to take advantage of it. A fleet of polish vessels sailed half of the planet to the Peanut Hole to raid the area for fish. This was also done by the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Bulgarians and Ukrainians, and soon, the peanut Hole was eventually full of hundreds of non Russian fishing ships. In 2014, Russia managed to obtained the legal extension of its EZZ to cover the Peanut Hole, putting and end to the foreign fishing raids it the region. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to MapTiler / OpenStreetMap Contributors and GEOlayers 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Hero’s Theme by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
