<div id="ygrps-yiv-2111007794">bottlenecks apparently narrower than 24nm apparently qualify the following<br/>
international seas to contain exclaves of everyones land in the numbers<br/>
indicated<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
3 black sea<br/>
  main body<br/>
  sea of azov<br/>
  gulf of taganrog<br/>
<br/>
1 aegean sea  north central part<br/>
  w of samos & khios & mytilene  & northward<br/>
<br/>
1 mediterranean sea<br/>
  main body<br/>
<br/>
1 irish sea<br/>
  main body<br/>
<br/>
5 baltic sea<br/>
  main body<br/>
  gulf of riga<br/>
  gulf of bothnia upper<br/>
  gulf of bothnia lower<br/>
  kattegat very close<br/>
<br/>
2 red sea<br/>
  main body<br/>
  southern end<br/>
<br/>
2 persian gulf<br/>
  main body<br/>
  eastern end<br/>
<br/>
1 sulu sea perhaps<br/>
<br/>
1 celebes sea perhaps<br/>
<br/>
1 in nares strait between kane basin & lincoln sea<br/>
  if so  apparently the only american instance<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
total  perhaps 18 worldwide<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so it is looking more or less like a regular golf course once again<br/>
after a first global roundup try with crude maps<br/>
<br/>
but of course anyone with better maps & more patience is cordially invited<br/>
to confirm or douse any of these<br/>
which are still conjectural even as an overall concept at this point anyway<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
note that none of these exclaves are enclaves within any single country<br/>
tho they might be considered enclaved within their surrounding sea<br/>
but that would be an unusual usage of the term<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
on the other hand<br/>
island based enclaves within everyones land<br/>
formerly also reported to number about 18<br/>
probably jump into the hundreds when the 200nm line is replaced with the<br/>
12nm line in that case as well<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the bottom line after all these changes is<br/>
everyones land is now looking far vaster than previously thought<br/>
even if much of it has been stripped of mineral rights etc<br/>
