N1  - Under the terms of the Law of the Sea Convention, Sri Lanka controls an offshore territory of over one million sq. km. which includes a 200-mile (approx. 320 km) Exclusive Economic Zone and sea bed rights beyond. Sri Lanka has a passive continental margin, a steep continental slope and a narrow continental shelf. Studies carried out on the continental shelf sediments indicate the presence of quartz sand and coral/shell (calcareous) deposits
