(I know this is objective, but...), then at least for this case, there is no coastline to worry about. Only the bay edge. Yeh, the edge of the water polygon could be at the land boundary (between A and B on my diagram), or between B and C. > > I think a similar example is here: > > http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=potlatch2&lat=-38.298693&lon=145.199326&zoom=18 > > Steve > Your example is probably the same if that land between the water and the admin boundary is some kind of wetland.

Sounds good. Out of interest, how do you know it is mangrove and not any of these? * wetland=swamp - An area of waterlogged forest, with dense vegetation. * wetland=saltmarsh - Coastal marshes, exposed to tidal inundation with sea water, therefore characterised by herbaceous plants with special adaptations to saline environments. * wetland=mangrove - Mangroves, tidal forests of salt-tolerant mangrove trees, forming along tropical coastlines.
