Source: Natural Earth marine areas · Public domain · release v5.1.2, retrieved 29 October 2026. Marine areas are generalized cartographic labels, not maritime jurisdiction or EEZ boundaries. Inland waters use the separate Natural Earth lakes layer (public domain, fixed snapshot); water extents may have changed. Names and source categories can include inland waters; alternative names are shown where supplied.
Coverage: 292 marine entries plus 85 major inland-water entries selected from Natural Earth’s separate lakes layer. The map also draws all 1,355 lake/reservoir source polygons as a background, with major named waters clickable. This is a fixed generalized snapshot, not a live shoreline. Atlantic/Pacific north–south components share their ocean pages; repeated Great Barrier Reef components share one page. Eleven unnamed source features have no invented pages. This is not a claim to list every locally named sea, inlet or waterbody.
