exclusion zone
Off-limits perimeter
An exclusion zone is an area where entry is prohibited or restricted, typically established by authorities for safety or security reasons.
Military exclusion zones bar enemy vessels or aircraft.
Nuclear accidents create exclusion zones around contaminated areas: The Chernobyl exclusion zone remains largely uninhabited.
Fishing exclusion zones protect marine habitats or national waters.
