As discussed back in September 2018, we need another tag for tidal channels, also known as "pills" or "tidal creeks" These are natural tidal waterways within the coastal, environment with bi-directional flow of salt water, so they are not a stream or river estuary. They should be located outside of the coastline. Such channels commonly form along protected coasts with limited wave action and a gradual slope, usually within tidal flats, salt marshes or mangroves. Examples: 1) Wöhrdener Loch - tidal channel in mud flats: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/401730966 2) Barbara Channel - channel in mud flats: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/694300595 3) Cabbage Creek - tidal creek in salt marsh: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/121698431 4) Tidal channel in mangroves: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/694868357 Image: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Mangroves-tidal-channels-josm-example-5km-4km-papua-indonesia.png See the whole proposal with more images and explanation: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:waterway%3Dtidal_channel Please comment here or on the talk page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Tag:waterway%3Dtidal_channel - Joseph Eisenberg PS: Sorry, Simon - last one this month - but I did map several hundred of these myself - lots of mangroves here. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
