<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">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. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>All the best</div><div><br></div><div>Nikolas</div></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Greg Troxel <<a href="mailto:gdt@lexort.com" target="_blank">gdt@lexort.com</a>> schrieb am Mi. 5.

This is complicated and jurisdiction dependent.<br>

In the US there is also the Submerged Lands Act.<br>

So you first really have to understand enough to ask a precise question.<br>
