[Qgis-user] Country coastal borders

[N Sellheim]

Hi,

This is essentially a legal question based on the Law of the Sea Convention
(UNCLOS), article 5 (baselines). Except where otherwise provided, you
consider the low-water line as the determining factor as marked on
large-scale charts recognised by the coastal state. There are other
criteria for reefs, river deltas, islands etc. So it also very much depends
on what region you look at.

All the best
