Disclaimer on Country Names

The choice of short names of countries, islands, and other territories does not presuppose that the institutions and persons supporting and making SeaLifeBase do recognize or do not recognize sovereignties or claims of sovereignty. They have been chosen among ISO and United Nations standards, and common practices in such a way they are short, and/or fit with fisheries catch reports.
