France has, due to its Overseas departments and regions that are scattered in all the oceansofEarth, the largest exclusive economic zone of the world. The total EEZ of France is 11,691,000 km2 (4,514,000 sq mi).[1]

It covers approximately 7% of the surface of all the EEZs of the world, while the French Republic is only 0.45% of the world's land surface.

Geography

[edit]
Metropolitan France and the overseas départements『départements d'outre-mer』make up the whole of France "France entière".『France entière』plus Saint-Martin are part of the EU. Continental France is in green and italics.

Monaco's waters are enclaves in the French EEZ.[2] The situation is more unclear for the Channel Islands. Some maps show the EEZ being enclaved by the French EEZ,[2] while others show the Guernsey EEZ extending to the border with the UK EEZ.[3][4][5][6]

Outside of mainland France and overseas departments or communities (Guadeloupe, Guyane, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion and Saint Martin), none of the territories below, and therefore their EEZ, is part of the European Union.
