When talking about PIL, we are talking about law of the sea. Here, all measurements are done in nautical miles: 1853,6 m = 1nm. Also known as sea mile, geographical mile, admiralty mile. For information: 1609 m = 1 lm, land mile, English mile, statute mile. All measurements to make delimitation of boundaries are taken from base lines. The seashore is a normal base line, so you measure the necessary NM from the base line, e.g. territorial sea is 12 nm. Some seashores are not very straight, they are complicated in this case you can connect the outstanding points, these are straight base lines. Then it is easier to make measurements. The water in the straight line is considered as internal waters not covered by PIL, under full sovereignty of the state. Territories of the seaports, of historical bases belong under the state. In case of tides: low water mark is used for calculation for base lines. Difference between high
