The wiki page for the approved feature is located at Tag:waterway=tidal_channel: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Dtidal_channel and I've added the tag to Map Features If you map areas at the coast, please consider if there are any waterways in your area that should be tagged as a tidal channel. These are natural tidal waterways within the coastal marine environment with bi-directional flow of salty water which depends on the tides. Such channels form along protected coasts with limited wave action and a gradual slope, usually within tidal mud flats, salt marshes or mangroves. Many are called a "creek", "pill", "slough" or "inlet" locally, depending on the dialect of English. In Germany they are called a "Piel" or sometimes a "Loch". "Priel" is also the name in Catalan, and "Pril" is used in Danish. "Suatiegeul" or "Kreek" is used in the Netherlands. If Wikipedia is correct, they may be a "Grau" or perhaps "Crique" in some dialects of French "Esterio" might be used in Portugal Joseph _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
