Hi Alex,

Thank you for the additional information I shall go through it all ASAP.

Having a look at the mapping guidelines I did find Beacons https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Seamarks/Beacons can have Radio Stations https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Seamarks/Radio_Stations including seamark:radio_station:category=ais "An AIS radiobeacon on a seamark that reports its own position" and a lot of other AIS radio station types including some that aren't really a buoy there - virtual! (http://www.professionalmariner.com/August-2014/synthetic-aids-virtual-buoys/)

I can find some seamarks but not radio stations in NSW https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/EVh http://map.openseamap.org/?zoom=16&lat=-33.87089&lon=151.18538&mlat=-33.87079&mlon=151.18459&layers=BFTFFFFFFTF0FFFFFFFFFF But I did find a red buoy near Macau that is AIS enabled https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5793357137 http://map.openseamap.org/?zoom=16&lat=22.11957&lon=113.61184&layers=BFTFFFFFFTF0FFFFFFFFFF

So I assume one must do some seaside mapping using some kind of radio like an SDR to get the position data? https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tutorial-cheap-ais-ship-tracking/

    AFAIK, OpenSeaMap is dedicated rendering based on the same
    OpenStreetMap database as the map of e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org
    The OpenSeaMap project also defines certain tags that are only used
    for navigation on water. See [1] for more info on how it works.

    So on one hand they are already combined (use the same database), but
    they are also separate (OpenSeaMap provides their own rendering of the
    data).

    am not sure why we would need OpenStreetMap and OpenSeaMap should
    these not be combined? However if they are separate so be it.  It
    would seem that OpenSeaMap has a number of suitable icons but I
    was not able to search it.  Basically AIS does not seem to be
    supported on either of the maps.
