Abstract

This Order extends the boundaries of the British Overseas Territory of Anguilla so as to include, as territorial sea, the sea within twelve nautical miles of the baselines of Anguilla, together with its seabed and subsoil. The Order defines as the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea adjacent to Anguilla is measured the low-water line along the coast, including the coast of all islands comprised in the territory. An exception on this general rule is made where there is a break or passage through the fringing reefs or in case of bays.
