<div id="ygrps-yiv-1820070591">&#39;Artificial islands, installations and structures do<br/>
not possess the status of islands. They have no<br/>
territorial sea of their own, and their presence does<br/>
not affect the delimitation of the territorial sea,<br/>
the exclusive economic zone or the continental shelf<br/>
(United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,<br/>
article 60.8).<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; make strategic peninsulas?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Yes, it could.  Landfill, jetties, piers, artificial<br/>
islands, etc. all generate <br/>
territorial seas.<br/>
