Request: (Concerns improvement of the 3rd map.) Many of the concerned territories consist only of some small islands. The information in this map is color-coded and the small area of the islands makes it hard to actually see, which territories are colored blue and which red (even in this view and when enlarging the view, I think the important information isn't visible very well). Could someone maybe surround the smaller islands with a lighter tone of the respective color, so that there will be larger, lightly colored areas? This could be done by highlighting the territorial waters or exclusive economic zones (see first and second image). -- Toshio Yamaguchi 14:35, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
