Dutch term or phrase: laaglaagwaterlijn, laag-laag waterlijn, laag-laagwaterlijn, etc.
Anyone come across this before?

"low-low water (line/mark)" (LLW)?
"lower low water (line/mark)"?

see e.g.:

"Nederlandse territoriale zee
Strekt zich uit tot 12 zeemijl gemeten vanaf de laaglaagwaterlijn, dit is het gebied waar de Nederlandse wetgeving geldt." (https://www.noordzeeloket.nl/beheer/maritieme-zones/binnen-t... )

and

"Naast de bovengenoemde laagwaterlijn wordt ook de term laaglaagwaterlijn/LLWS[17] (de laagste lijn waar vrijwel altijd water staat) gebruikt. De LLWS komt (vrijwel) overeen met de in de ‘Wet grenzen Nederlandse territoriale zee’ gedefinieerde laagwaterlijn.

[17] LLWS = Laag Laag Water tijdens Springtij. Dit is het herleidingsvlak van waterdiepten op de Nederlandse zeekaarten. Het water kan echter nog lager komen te staan dan dit vlak, omdat het een gemiddelde is van deze laag water situatie."
