Article 3

Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2) of this article and in article 4 of this Order, the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea adjacent to St. Helena and its Dependencies is measured shall be the low-water line along the coast of all islands comprised in the Colony of St. Helena and its Dependencies.

For the purposes of this article a low-tide elevation which lies wholly or partly within the breadth of sea which would be territorial sea if all low-tide elevations were disregarded for the purpose of the measurement of the breadth thereof shall be treated as an island.
