  2-35. Table 2-3 lists several operational aspects and intelligence, threat, and other OE considerations
  associated with the maritime domain.
  Table 2-3. Maritime domain operational aspects and intelligence and other considerations
  Maritime domain
  The maritime domain is the oceans, seas, bays, estuaries, islands, coastal areas, and the airspace above these, including the
  littorals (JP 3-32). The maritime domain overlaps with the land domain in the seaward segment of the littoral. Maritime capability
  may be viewed as global, regional, territorial, coastal, and self-defense forces. Most maritime nations also maintain air forces
  capable of conducting operations over the maritime domain. This air capability, combined with land-based long-range fires,
  greatly impacts operations in the maritime domain.
