For some purposes, e.g. in the context of regional agreements on the
protection of marine environment, in particular from land-based sources of
pollution, there might be an implicit understanding that such term, if
used, may cover a zone starting from the coastline and continuing landward
up to the line defining the respective watershed. However, no precise
definition exists in law and States seem generally to prefer avoiding the
term altogether in their multilateral legal instruments. Vladimir Jares

Subject: Re: coastal zone
There isn't one, at least in law: it is neither a term of art nor one
defined in LOSC.
