If there is such reference I could start the work.
At least for the county level I decided to put a sea-boundary by myself. IMO we don't need too official boundaries there. Those sea-boundaries are only relevant in case of islands belonging to some administrative entity. I assume that the municipalities do not have too many rights on "their" part of the sea. So in a way one could even consider it to be correct that the non-national boundaries are at the coastline. I propose to try to divide the "available" sea by similar rules as for national sea borders, i.e. rectangular line from the higher level (lower admin_level) sea-border to the neighbouring point. If there are islands they need to be fit into the multipolygon area. Between two opposing points split in the middle. At least I have seen similar rules applied in other regions of the world.

I might even be able to read some Estonian, but I prefer to answer in English. Andre -- Winning isn't the end of the world.
