very unstable, may be relevant points selected along the furthest line
tide, and whatever other retreat tide lines remain straight

The baseline valid until changed by the coastal State in accordance with this Convention
.

general direction of the coast and the sea areas lying within the lines
must be sufficiently closely linked to the land domain to be subject
regime of internal waters.

Fourth When setting straight baselines may not be based on
low-tide elevations in the low tide zone, provided that no established
lighthouses or similar installations which are permanently above sea level
, except where the drawing of baselines to these
or from such elevations has received general international recognition.

Fifth Where the method of straight baselines is applicable under paragraph. 1
