@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?
