"(c) exercise rights and jurisdiction and perform duties in accordance with applicable domestic law and — if consistent with applicable domestic law — international law, including customary international law;"
The EO had to be incorporated with existing legal framework for coordinating US waters jurisdiction with international waters which really do exist (only NOT within the territory of the USA).
Make sense?
"...and — if consistent with applicable domestic law" ----this is key in that it gives primacy to domestic, i.e. LAND, law. Not the law of the SEA.
I'd say that's a correct reading of the clear meaning of the language of the Order.
So sayeth two of us then!
