Low-tide elevation




Low-tide elevation is a naturally formed area of land which is above water and
surrounded by water at low tide but submerged at high tide.[1] It may be a mudflat or reef.



Legal status


Low tide elevations may be used as basepoints for the calculation of maritime zones unless they lie at a distance exceeding the breadth of the territorial sea (12-miles) from the nearest mainland or island.
