Inshore/Offshore
An interesting question.
Down this neck of the woods I would class anything 10 to 15miles (within good sight of land) to be inshore, beyond sight of land I would class as offshore. That is my personal classification and it may not be technically correct.
Technically I reckon that where the bottom has an effect on wave motion is inshore. Consequentially where the bottom no longer has effect on wave motion is offshore.

For commercial fishing / shipping it is officially 12 nm! Offshore is up to 200 nm, and greater than 200 nm becomes international waters ( there are some exceptions to the INT waters law where there is not 200 nm between nations etc )
But for sea angling purposes in Ireland it is no more than 3 nm "to sea".
