    Mean Lower Low Water
    The United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration uses mean lower low water (MLLW), which is the average of the lowest tide recorded at a tide station each day during the recording period. MLLW is generally located above LAT and therefore some tidal states may have negative heights. The advantage of using Mean Lower Low Water is avoiding the costs and confusion that moving to LAT would involve.
