- Sea limits follow Natural Earth's cartographic outlines. A coast is counted where a land border runs within about 2 km of the outline for at least 10 km. Neighboring seas drawn separately (for example the Aegean within the Mediterranean) are not included.

Among the world's straits
Each line is every one of the straits in this atlas that carries the measurement, ordered smallest to largest. The line down the middle is the median; the mark on each line is this one. Deserts are not ranked against lakes — the comparison is always within the same kind.
