+The Contiguous Zone is a belt of sea adjacent to a nation's [Territorial Sea](/wiki/territorial_sea), extending its sovereign reach for specific purposes. Within this band, a state may enforce laws related to customs, immigration, sanitation, and fiscal matters. It forms a crucial part of layered maritime jurisdiction, distinct from the broader principles of [Maritime Law](/wiki/maritime_law).
