<br/>
&gt; The Wadden Sea is a tidal sea. At low tide it is even possible to walk from<br/>
<br/>
&gt; the coast to, in this case, the Island Neuwerk and also to Scharhorn. One<br/>
<br/>
&gt; only has to cross some channels/gully&#39;s.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Also horse and carts drive over the (dry) sea-floor. Deutsche Post<br/>
<br/>
&gt; transports the mail on a daily bases in this way.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; This also means that the coastline is defined as being at normal mean tide.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>mean low tide is normally what defines it so i gather that is what you mean here also<br/>
<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; I don&#39;t know if the Wadden Sea is therefore not yet belonging to the<br/>
<br/>
&gt; territorial waters??<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>the fact that it is a tidal sea or basin makes it seem to fit the usual definition of internal waters & therefore not to be external enough to be considered territorial sea <br/>
<br/>
for the territorial sea normally extends only outward 12nm from the baselines that connect the outermost points on the coast at low tide<br/>
<br/>
but internal waters tho not usually called territorial waters are in fact more territorial & sovereign than territorial seas since they are generally more enclosed than territorial seas & also since the right of innocent passage by foreigners isnt guaranteed upon them<br/>
