I don't know for other islands but here in Faroe Islands(my country) we have 18 Islands and i have corrected all the costalline the ones that were in the begining when i joined were horribly wrong i have drawn them using an picture as background (made from an official dxf file) but here in Faroe Islands there is not that big different on High/Low tide, and the lowest island is 372m high so we dont have that problem
