The geographical co-ordinates included in the Schedule to these Regulations constitute the basepoints on Jamaica and the outlying islands of the Pedro Cays and the Morant Cays to be joined by straight archipelagic baselines.

The charts indicate the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured.
