- Support, but I think "percent of area water" or "water as percent of area" would be better English labels. "Percent of water surface" suggests that "of the area that is water, this percent is <x>" rather than the intended "of the surface area of <x>, this percent is water".

Comment I wonder if this should be a qualifier to "area". Countries may have different views on what parts of the sea are included.
