Hi, finally I got the process sorted out to generate a border from natural=coastline, natural=reef and the baseline segments. The resulting osm-file can be found at [1]. Using the dataset I also updated the picture from the post below to show the differences [2]. It doesn't look that bad

My inclination is.. 1. Document accurately the process you have used 2. Note the activity required to increase the accuracy (reefs, bay closure) 3. Upload the borders currently there (things aren't working properly right now). 4. Work to increase the accuracy. 5. Update the borders

Hi Michael, I'm keen to read up on the process, so that I learn a little more about the mapping workflows on OSM. And happy to help, so let me know if I can be of any assistance. BTW, won't the bays be self closing during buffer creation (if the mouth is less than the offset)? Cheers, Paul.
