6. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 5, on
submarine ridges, the outer limit of the continental shelf shall not
exceed 350 [nm] from the baselines from which the breadth of the
territorial sea is measured. This paragraph does not apply to
submarine elevations that are natural components of the
continental margin, such as its plateaux, rises, caps, banks and
spurs.
7. The coastal State shall delineate the outer limits of its
continental shelf, where that shelf extends beyond 200 [nm] from
the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is
measured, by straight lines not exceeding 60 [nm] in length,
connecting fixed points, defined by coordinates of latitude and
longitude.
8. Information on the limits of the continental shelf beyond
200 [nm] from the baselines from which the breadth of the
territorial sea is measured shall be submitted by the coastal State
to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf set up
under Annex II on the basis of equitable geographical
representation. The Commission shall make recommendations to
coastal States on matters related to the establishment of the outer
limits of their continental shelf. The limits of the shelf established
by a coastal State on the basis of these recommendations shall be
final and binding
