Redefiniing Coastal Borders ande the Crisis of Shifting Baselines

UNCLOS provides the legal architecture for establing g maritime zons, all of which begin the baseline. A coastal state exercises full superiigny over it territorial sea (up to 12 nautical miles) and superiign rights to to resources in it EEZ (up to 200 nautical miles). The fundamental, and presignly urgent, question is: whatt happes to these maritime zone whene baseline moveres?
