The difference is that it's intentional waters and the International Hydrographic Organization is in charge of standardizing the names.
The IHO proposes names which world nations may or may not use.
Such is the case with the "Southern Ocean" around Antarctica since the early 2000s, which is randomly recognized & not recognized by world nations.
It still requires Congress to pass legislation. I think they would have to leave the organization entirely or amend the resolution to join it and recognize it's naming convention. The executive order is illegal.
I don't disagree.
But recent interpretation of the use of executive order is hurtling toward the president having near-monarch authority
So, until the reach of executive orders gets reigned in... here we are.
Actually very little of the gilf falls into international waters
I've heard of MILFs... but i've only seen GILFs in Japan. That's not the geography we're discussing here.
