The Falkland Islands (Territorial Sea) Order 1989
This order extends the boundaries of the Falkland Islands, so as to include, as territorial sea, the sea within twelve nautical miles of the baselines, together with its seabed and subsoil, and makes other provisions in this connection. In particular, it defines the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured as generally the low-water line, except that a series of straight baselines joining specified points is provided for. The effect of the Order is to establish around all of the Falkland Islands (including Beauchene Island) a territorial sea extending to 12 nautical miles from the appropriate baselines.
