A low-tide elevation is a naturally formed area of land which is surrounded by and above water at low tide but submerged at high tide. Where a low-tide elevation is situated wholly or partly at a distance not exceeding the breadth of the territorial sea from the mainland or an island, the low-water line on that elevation may be used as the baseline for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea. Where a low-tide elevation is wholly situated at a distance exceeding the breadth of the territorial sea from the mainland or an island, it has no territorial sea of its own.  1, record 5, English, - low%2Dtide%20elevation

... In certain geographical circumstances it is permissible to draw straight lines across the sea on a map, form headland to headland, or from island to island, and to measure the territorial sea from those straight lines. Art. 4 of the Geneva Convention [on the territorial sea] provides :"1. In localities where the coastline is deeply indented and cut into, or if there is a fringe of islands along the coast in its immediate vicinity, the method of straight baselines joining appropriate points may be employed in drawing the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured.  1, record 7, English, - method%20of%20straight%20baselines
