maps showing both the continental shelf or eez limits & the
territorial sea limits are rare but
http://www.veridian.com/offerings/images/maritime_large.jpg
shows them admirably well for the entire world
while necessarily leaving one to imagine or squint for the
multipoints
the pairs of lines that can be seen on this map shadowing all
coasts at distances of roughly 12nm & 200nm
mark the limits of sovereign territorial seas & eezs respectively
& thus simultaneously represent the maximium & minimum
limits of everyonese sovereignty
