Exclusion zone

For the interface layer in water, see Exclusion zone (physics).

An exclusion zone is a territorial division established for various, case-specific purposes.

Per the United States Department of Defense, an exclusion zone is a territory where an authority prohibits specific activities in a specific geographic area (see military exclusion zone).[1] These temporary or permanent zones are created for control of populations for safety, crowd control, or military purposes, or as a border zone.
