In this Ordinance "territorial waters" means that part of the sea adjacent to the coast of any island Kiribati, which is within 3 geographical miles measured from low-water mark of the seaward side of the reef fronting such coast or bounding any lagoon waters adjacent to such coast or, when a reef is not present, from the low-water mark of the coast itself. No person shall remain in or enter into or attempt to enter into any prohibited area without the authority in writing of the Governor. (6 sections)
