it doesn&#39;t become enclaved. It comes with the full French 200nm EEZ <br/>
claim, although that is contested in all France&#39;s Indian Ocean <br/>
possessions (except for the Mauritius/Reunion boundary).<br/>
On the basis of equidistance lines, Mayotte would have EEZ boundaries <br/>
with the Comoros to the N and W, Seychelles to the N, and Madagascar <br/>
to the S and E. Part of its EEZ would merge with the EEZ claim of the <br/>
Iles Glorieuses, a small group of French islands north of Madagascar <br/>
and south of the Seychelles.<br/>
