sch.6-sec.1 Definitions for schedule

In this schedule— 100m line , around a reef, means the line every point of which is 100m seaward from the seaward edge of the reef. 500m line , around a reef, means the line every point of which is 500m seaward from the seaward edge of the reef. coastal 100m line — around an island or the mainland, means the line every point of which is 100m seaward from the island, or the mainland, at low water; or to the extent there is a fringing reef around the island or the mainland, means the line every point of which is 100m seaward from the seaward edge of the fringing reef. coastal 500m line — around an island, a group of islands, the mainland, a rock, or a group of rocks, means the line every point of which is 500m seaward from the island, the group of islands, the mainland, the rock or the group of rocks, at low water; or to the extent there is a fringing reef around the island, the group of islands, the mainland, the rock or the group of rocks, means the line every point of which is 500m seaward from the edge of the fringing reef. fringing reef , in relation to an island, a group of islands, the mainland, a rock, or a group of rocks, means a reef that adjoins, overlaps or is in close proximity to the island, the group of islands, the mainland, the rock or the group of rocks, at low water. geodesic means a line between 2 points that follows the curvature of the earth. HAT means the highest level of the tides that can be predicted to happen under average meteorological conditions and under any combination of astronomical conditions. high water means the mean height of the highest high water at spring tide. island 500m line , around an island, means the line every point of which is 500m seaward from the island at low water. LAT means the lowest level of the tides that can be predicted to happen under average meteorological conditions and under any combination of astronomical conditions. low water means the mean height of the lowest low water at spring tide. median line , means— in relation to 2 islands, a line that— starts at 1 point where the island 500m line around 1 island intersects the island 500m line around the other island; and ends at the other point where the 2 island 500m lines intersect; and at every point is equidistant from both islands at low water; or in relation to 1 island and a rock or group of rocks, a line that— starts at 1 point where the island 500m line around the island intersects the rock 500m line around the rock or group of rocks; and ends at the other point where the island 500m line intersects the rock 500m line; and at every point is equidistant from the island and the rock or group of rocks at low water; or in relation to 2 reefs, a line that— starts at 1 point where the 500m line around 1 reef intersects the 500m line around the other reef; and ends at the other point where the 500m lines intersect; and at every point is equidistant from the seaward edge of both reefs. rock 500m line , around a rock or a group of rocks, means the line every point of which is 500m seaward from the rock, or the group of rocks, at low water. the mainland includes a part of the mainland.
