Hi Mike What is the advantage of using your code to pre-process coastline data? Why not feed in the raw coastline ways and let the SeaGenerator handling all the joining and closing. As long as your coastline ways cover the whole of each final tile, you shouldn't get problems that need solving with "[extend-]sea-sectors", but you might need "close -gaps". Or just use --precomp-sea=...
Anti-islands are enclosed seas and really should trigger a big warning as, I think, the only one is the Caspian. All other coastline should extend off the tile or be islands. I don't understand the basis on which your pre-processor is allowed to generate anti-islands. The example of a road/bridge generating 2 sea areas confuses me. Won't there be valid coastline in both directions under the bridge and how far away from this do you go before joining/ enclosing the 2 areas of sea - 1 of which shouldn't be enclosed.
