yes i have read the whole law now & believe this explicit mention of
the territorial sea is the most telling point & reference in it
it seems to indicate that the federal territorial sea is the conceptual
source of the federal maritime terrestrial zone
& that the latter is simply the projection of the former onto dry land
whether onto the continental margin or the islands within the sea
& i doubt you will find any laws that contradict this impression
