IS AN EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE PART OF THE TERRITORY OF A COUNTRY?

 

I read that Nemo was finally found and he knows where he is.

But Nemo does not want his friend Dory to get lost - again. He wants you to tell him if the West Philifin Sea as Philifin Exclusive Economic Zone is part of the national territory of his beloved Philifins. The debates are confusing him.

Why is the question material? Dory wants to visit Nemo. He is now in the Recto Bank. Is he in the Philifins? If he is, Dory must get a fisha (the equivalent of the visa humans use) from the Philifin Emfishy (the equivalent of the embassy for humans). She was advised to get a fisha from the Chinapa Emfishy  by her best friend, Finyol.

Or Dory might not need a fisha at all because the Recto Bank, while within the EEZ of the Philifins, is outside of its territorial waters.

(Of course, Nemo says that regardless of whether the EEZ is part of Philifin territory or not, the Philifins should tell Chinapas not to gather planktons there. He plans to gather the members of Congdilis, the lawmaking body, to study the matter.)
