With the territories I tried to include such that could propose good candidates for WHSs. That's also why I didn't distinguish the different French, Dutch or British Caribbean territories. The Channel Islands, as far as I know, have no sites of significance. Same is true of Mayotte, American Samoa and American Virgin Islands. Mayen could be added (it's on the Norwegian T-list). Tokelau too. For the Southern Indian Ocean I added Chagos, which is also recommended as an eco gap by IUCN. On the other hand, I'll consider Dominica, Reunion, Kiribati and Bermuda as fully inscribed (like the Holy See and San Marino) and erase them.
