Donut Holes in International Waters is an interactive map showing who has sovereignty over seas around the world.
The map also highlights 'doughnut holes', areas in the sea which lie within 200 nautical miles of two different countries but are of equal distance from each country. Doughnut holes are designated as international waters.
To create the map the author, Dmitriy Skougarevskiy, had to design an interactive map that included the state maritime borders defining each country's sovereignty over the world's seas. He also had to create his own bathymetry layer.
A post on the CartoDB Blog explains in some detail how Dmitriy created his beautiful looking maritime map.
