United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) distinguishes an island from a rock, by defining an island as a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is above water at high tide; rocks are defined as features (also above water at high tide) "which cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own." An island entitles the coastal State to 200 miles of exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, with undisputed right of exclusive exploitation of natural resources located within the area. By contrast, if the feature is a rock, the coastal State is only entitled to the territorial sea. A feature which is below water at high tide (even if above water at low tide) qualifies as neither an island nor a rock and does not entitle its owner to EEZ, continental shelf, or territorial sea rights.,(reply>), @Angry Ted no has the fishing agreements no longer include the island in their definitions,(reply>), So, can we go there for cod now?
