Territorial Sea
Territorial Sea : Australia's territorial sea extend 12 nautical miles from the territorial sea baseline. The greater part of this baseline is the low water line along the coast. The remainder of the baseline consists of straight lines as follows: lines across the mouths of rivers which flow directly into the sea; bay-closing lines to enclose certain bays not more than 24 miles wide at their mouths; and straight baselines to enclosed waters where the coastline is deeply indented and cut into, or where there is a fringe of islands along the coast in its immediate vicinity.
