The term "semi-enclosed sea" [...] could be used in a broad sense to cover larger sea basins along the margins of the main ocean basins, more or less enclosed by a land mass–whether continental or insular–and with one or more narrow outlets to the oceans. Examples of that category of seas were the Caribbean Sea and the Andaman Sea. 2, record 1, English, - semi%2Denclosed%20sea
