[Qgis-user] Coastline

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

Interesting web link.  I did not follow this conversation closely but noticed it hovered between legal definitions and practical definitions like tide levels.  I’am not sure anyone pointed out to UNCLOS? There is a link to it on your page.  Most countries have signed it or respect it’s general principles.

I once had to deal with a shipwreck whose stern was in the State of Victoria and whose bow was in the Commonwealth. There is an interesting discussion on the Geoscience Australia site
