11  Low‑water line of naturally formed area
 (1) If the low‑water line of a naturally formed area of land which is above water at high‑tide would intersect a straight baseline drawn in accordance with this instrument, the part of the straight baseline that would be between the points of intersection of the low‑water line and that baseline is to be substituted with the line that would be the baseline between those points if the seaward part of the area of land were part of the coast of the mainland of the State or Territory within which the naturally formed area of land is located.
 (2) For subsection (1):
 (a) if the low‑water line and baseline intersect at more than 2 points, the points of intersection of the low‑water line of an area of land and a straight baseline are taken to be the 2 outermost points of intersection; and
 (b) the seaward part of the area of land is the part, or parts, of the area of land on the seaward side of the straight baseline.
