Look at a EEZ map, Gambia's EEZ is a long rectangle between Senegal's EEZ and reaches Cabo Verde's EEZ, Togo has the same thing but it's coast is smaller so it's EEZ is also smaller

The Gambia’s EEZ is larger in area than the country itself.

I think the more important factor isn't the length of the coastline, but whether there's some land cutting it off from the open ocean.

Totally expected Monaco to have the smallest one and was shocked to find out it's not even close.

I struggled to find a good map, but after a while I found this map. So for anyone who is interested in exploring a map with EEZ's (and territoral seas). I changed some settings and added some layers
