How far should use of this tag extend? Should https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/63985402 be a lifeboat_station? No, it certainly doesn't have a lifeboat of it's own, but it is responsible for coordinating & controlling Rescue activities for the English Channel & a lot of SE England.
Currently dual-tagged as amenity=coastguard + emergency_service=water (which doesn't even have a page, despite ~250 uses, & on checking, a lot of these uses seem like they should be =lifeguard). If not lifeboat, what would be a good tag for a Coastguard radio / control base?
