Spanish term or phrase: lejos de la costa
Estoy traduciendo un texto sobre buques de investigación oceanográfica. En él se hacen referencia a los caladeros en una tabla, dividiéndolos en los que están lejos y cerca de la costa. Mi duda es si fishing ground "off the coast" puede ser traducido como "lejos de la costa".

Thanks in advance.

Or offshore, as opposed to inshore for "cerca de la costa":

"In ocean or seawaters, inshore fishing is within a few miles from the shore. Estuaries and bays are popular inshore fishing spots as well. Offshore fishing is far from the shore, typically 20-30 miles out, in waters hundreds and thousands of feet deep."
