EEZ map request[edit]

It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality.

This article could use a map that actually visualizes all the places that there are and aren't islands, and which countries they belong to. This is hard to do because the ocean is so big and the islands are so small, but plotting EEZs might help (and would be informative anyway), like File:Territorial waters - World.svg but with labels like [1] and focused on the Pacific like [2]. -- Beland (talk) 02:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Infobox Map Projection[edit]

What projection does the map in the infobox (File:Pacific Ocean - en.png, right) use, in order to show both poles? Should this be included in the image caption? ‑‑Yodin^T 10:15, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for

You haven't said what fixes are needed. If you think that the coordinates in the article are incorrect (which they don't appear to be), please supply a clear explanation of the problem. Deor (talk) 17:42, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
