PART 2
MARITIME AREAS OF SAINT LUCIA

3.   Territorial sea

  1.  

    (1)   Subject to subsection (2), the territorial sea of Saint Lucia comprises those areas of the sea having, as their inner limits, the baseline of the territorial sea and, as their outer limits, a line measured seaward from that baseline, every point of which is 12 nautical miles distant from the nearest point of that baseline.

  1.  

    (2)   Wherever the equidistance line between Saint Lucia and an adjacent State is less than 12 nautical miles from the nearest point of the baseline of the territorial sea, the delimitation of the territorial sea shall, if possible, be effected by agreement between Saint Lucia and the adjacent State; but to the extent that no such agreement is effected, that equidistance line shall constitute the outer limits of the territorial sea.

  1.  

    (3)   In this section, “equidistance line”, as between Saint Lucia and an adjacent State, means a line every point of which is equidistant from the nearest point of the baseline of the territorial sea and the corresponding baseline of the adjacent State.
