Sea
Fish is around but you cant catch them without fishing equipments unless they decide to swim up to the surface. Violent storms would kill anyone lost at sea.
Desert
Theres little water and food. Finding food is a real rarity.
Jungle
You can find lots of food and lots of dangerous creatures.

I'd have to say jungle. If a plane or helicopter goes over, chances are you won't be seen because of dense foliage.

The sea. Without navigation equipment you will not find your way back to land. Water everywhere you see.

All of those are pretty bad... but the desert, I suppose. Would so die of dehydration.

I'd say in the jungle because in the jungel there is all this dangerous amimals, and it's also more difficult to find you. In the desert and at the sea you have these open areas so you're much easier to find.

Id say desert because if you got lost in the jungle all you have to do is follow the animals to water

Sea. "Water Water everywhere but not a drop to drink." You can't drink Salt water. so It doesn't matter if you could find food, you'll die of Dehydration.
Desert - Easy to trap snakes and Lizards for food, and Water is easy to come by for those who know how to get it.
Jungle - Water's Plentiful, Food's abundant, Just travel around with a good sized knife or a gun with lots of bullets and you'll be fine. If you don't have them, Travel around like George of the Jungle and Tarzan... Just watch out for that tree....

Desert, I like sand as my food and water just as much as the next guy, but I don't want to live off of it.

Sea, because as explained above, hardest place to get fod and water, you have to have dry sticks and matchs just to get water! I'd prefer to get lost in the Jungle, but the desert also has lizards to eat and cactus's to chop down and drink, they have water on the inside!

See... if you get lost at sea on a big ol' boat with lots of bottled water and a fishing pole, you can live there for a loooong time! Jungle has lots of food and water. But you'll get baked alive in the desert, even if you have food and water...

^Ah, did you read the first post? Worst place to be stranded . . .
I'd say desert - you'd die either of heat stroke or dehydration. Sea, you'd at least get a burial,

The sea. Like Link said, there's water everywhere, but none to drink. no food. and getting lost at sea, you'r lost in a way bigger area than you ever would be in a desert or jungle. there are no landmarks, a very very low chance that anyone would find you, due to your size compared to where you were lost in. IN the desert you could at least try to find some sort of shelter, water maybe in cacti and ... lizards or something. I'd say definatly at sea

For me, It'd have to do with what I was stranded with...
If I were stranded at sea, you could survive with two bottles and a small bit of plastic tubeing that could fit in the top of the two bottles. put sea water in one and as it evaporates and condenses it loses salt and drips into the other bottle as fresh water. Plish a shirt makes a decent yet primitive net.
The Desert.. unless your stranded on Africa's famed Skeleton Coast, the above options are ummm Useless. However a shirt can be used as a covering/ watergather for any morning dew. Food can be caught at or by digging. plus cacti juce are usually drinkable however distasteful and are great sources for water.
Jungle.. Water and Food availabe.. bugs annoying, and no animal is going to come after you unless you absoltely provoke it.
So I choose In this order.
Desert-Sea Equal Lack of Water/Food/Shelter.
Jungle best place to be standed

Sea, because you will not be able to get food and it would be disgusting to drink salt water from the sea and when you get tired you would slowly sleep and drown later on.

As Republican Man said, I think it would depend on what you were stranded with. If you had nothing then I think the Sea would be worst, as it would be difficult to get food, water and also when it's raining you have nothing to shelter under, but when it's sunny you get blinded by the glare off the water.
What a lot of people seem to be forgetting about the jungle is that there is plenty of small creatures with bad diseases that you can't exactly shoot.
