@ ed,

I guess the right tag would be:
natural=wetland
wetland=mangrove
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mangrove

Didn't saw that page when I tagged them last year.  Changing tags now.

 IMO, no.  Some mangroves in Lian, Batangas are more on the sea side.
 Hence, I didn't move the the coastline.

 I've walked around these mangroves stands for two full days.

 I have this similar case in Talim Bay (Lian, Batangas).  During low
 tides, the inter-tidal flats (locally known as tangkulan) are in
 hundreds of meters from the mean coast.

 The "if in doubt, map as land" mantra applies only if you're
 unfamiliar with the area.  For everything else, it's your call
 provided you have verified on the ground.

 I think we should map inter-tidal zones as lines (this needs to be
  defined more)

Re: [talk-ph] mangroves, tidal lands

2010-07-09 Thread Ed Garcia
@maning,  I looked at your mangroves at Lian ... the coastline is actually
traversing the mangrove area, half on land and half on ocean, but it is
still being rendered as whole land.

I believe it is because you used the landuse:forest tag  while I used
natural:wetland tag as suggested by OSM for mangrove areas.

The natural:wetland does not render as a green patch when it is on the water
side of the coastline.

shall I use landuse:forest instead of natural:wetland instead?

 It is suggested, and I agree, to map mangrove areas as inland (inside
 the
 coastline).  But I encountered the mangrove areas at Alburquerque,
  Bohol and
 the mangroves (seen on wms Lansat) are currently lying on the ocean
 side.
 The current coastline is along the actual edge of what is definitely the
 actual land.  I have personally seen the coast myself when I was in the

Can't find Mangrove here as a separate category. I believe normally  
coastlines are high-high waterlines. See this picture on my (site  
http://www.bohol.ph/picture206.html) for looks off a mangrove (near  
Loay, Bohol); this land will submerge a high tide. Picture can be used  
under CC-BY or CC-BY-SA if needed.

[talk-ph] mangroves, tidal lands

Can I have your opinion on this, guys?  it is about coastal mangrove areas.
It is suggested, and I agree, to map mangrove areas as inland (inside the
coastline).  But I encountered the mangrove areas at Alburquerque, Bohol and
the mangroves (seen on wms Lansat) are currently lying on the ocean side.
The current coastline is along the actual edge of what is definitely the

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=9.6127&lon=123.954&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF

Question:  *Shall I move the coastline seaward so that the mangroves would
apear inland?*  This would in a way state that mangroves (or tidelands) are
land and thereby also state that coastlines for tidal lands and flats are to
be drawn using the exposed areas during the lowest low tide (not just the
mean tide as this will "cut" some mangrove areas in half).  Classic case for
tidal flats are in Calatagan, where the low tide exposes an additional 150+m
of "land".

Also, the above considers that some islands become "land" only on low tides.
