GLORIA* and the EEZ SCAN Program

*Geological Long-Range Inclined Asdic

The U.S. EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) was declared by Presidential Order in 1983. This area includes the sea floor extending 200 nautical miles away from all U.S. possesions and trust territories. The area included is equal to two-thirds of all U.S. lands prior to the declaration. The U.S. Geological Survey was charged with surveying this new domain.
