http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_Economic_Zone
Under the law of the sea, an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is a seazone over which a state has special rights over the exploration and use of marine resources. It stretches from the seaward edge of the state's territorial sea out to 200 nautical miles from its coast. In casual usage, the term may include the territorial sea and even the continental shelf beyond the 200 mile limit.
So basically much of the pirates attacks have been happening within Somalia’s exclusive zone

Exactly, look at how they reduced Somalia's territorial zone to 12 nautical miles in this map!
