Resumen

Section 3 defines the archipelagic waters of The Bahamas "as those areas of the sea enclosed by the baselines established in this section". Baselines shall be straight lines joining consecutive geographical coordinates and shall remain those applicable immediately before the coming in force of the present Act, subject to the rule set out in comma 3 of section 3. Section 4 describes a territorial sea of twelve nautical miles from baselines drawn under section 3 or in all other cases, the low-water line along the coast of each island. Section 5 defines innocent passage and declares various activities to be prejudicial to peace, good order and security of The Bahamas. Section 6 specifies powers of law enforcement officers in the territorial sea and prescribes offences. Section 7 defines internal waters. Section 8 declare the EEZ of The Bahamas to be an area extending up to two hundred miles from the nearest point on the baseline and in the case of an opposite or adjacent coast of another State, up to the median line with that coast. Section 9 specifies also rights of The Bahamas in the EEZ. Remaining provisions deal with sea lines, traffic separation routes, charts and powers of the Governor-General to negotiate an agreement with another State, the territorial sea of which meets the territorial sea of The Bahamas.
