I think you need to give specific examples for a meaningful discussion here. > It seems like this would be reasonable, if the coastline is > considered to map the furthest inland limit of the marine environment > (at high tide), and the river area plus the line of the waterway are > mapping the longest extention of the river. To be clear: The upper limit of tidal influence on water levels and the ecological limit of the marine environment are two very different things. Tidal influence often goes much further upstream - as illustrated by Kevin's example. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
