This Act defines maritime zones of South Africa and provides with respect to activities and application of laws in those zones. In section 1 terms such as "low-tide elevation", "low-water", low-water line", and "straight line" are defined. The low-water line shall be the baseline for the parts of the coast for which no straight baselines have been established in accordance with comma (2) of section 2 or no outer limits of internal waters or outermost harbour works are established in accordance with commas (4) and (5) of section 2. The internal waters of the Republic shall comprise all waters landward of the baselines and all harbours (sect. 3). The sea within a distance of 12 nautical miles from the baselines shall be the territorial waters of the Republic (sect. 4). The contiguous zones measures 24 nautical miles from the baselines beyond the territorial waters (sect. 5). Section 6 defines the "maritime cultural zone" as the sea beyond the territorial waters within a distance of 24 nautical miles measured from the baselines. The EEZ measures 200 nautical miles from the baselines (sect. 7). The Continental Shelf of the Republic shall be such as defined in article 76 of the Law of the Sea Convention (sect. 8). The Act shall also apply to the Prince Edward Islands (sect. 14).
