This paper analyzes and evaluates the issues that might emerge between the US and both Canada and Mexico in the establishment of adjacent exclusive economic zones (EEZs). Given the ambiguity of the United Nations Convention language and historic differences in approach to law of the sea issues, it is likely that there will be differences in how each of these countries will manage and regulate activities within their respective zones. Since many of the resources and activities are transboundary in nature, the potential for conflict between states exists. The paper highlights existing areas of conflict and evaluates the potential for future disagreements. 3 figures.
