ISLAND

a natural land formation surrounded by water that lies above the water level at high tide. With the exception of rocks that are not suitable for supporting human life or independent economic activity, islands, equally with other parts of land territory, may have territorial waters, a contiguous zone or economic zone, and a continental shelf. In certain cases, the presence of oceans near the continental coast may be a factor influencing the passage of straight baselines for measuring the width of territorial waters. Such lines are applicable in places where there is a chain of oceans along the coast and in close proximity to it. For islands located on atolls or islands with fringing reefs, the starting line for measuring the width of territorial waters is the reef line facing the sea at the highest ebb. , as indicated by the corresponding sign on nautical charts, officially issued by the coastal state. According to the legislation in force in the Russian Federation, islands belonging to the Russian Federation have territorial waters, an economic zone and a continental shelf.
