The trick maybe to find a good sea floor elevation database that is

has an interesting survey on bathymetric data. But I don't think we
need a realistic simulation of the effect for use in Flightgear,
changing colours according to the tidal changes should be sufficient.
This could be done by declaring respective areas of the ocean as
tideland and moving the shoreline proportionally to the time that has
passed since the last hig- or low-tides.
Still someone would have to develop a schema to calculate the tides ....
From a technical standpoint, how would you plan to "move" shoreline and
change all the underlying triangle structures in real time?
