If there is such reference I could start the work.
Sea aquatorium (mereakvatoorium) is actually legally quite poorly defined in Estonia. Sea law (merepõhjaseadus) is under construction, as there is issue that now nobody knows who gives permits to build wind turbines into sea. In reality sea areas are administred in national level, not in local (county or municipality) level. In this terms current local administrative borders are geometrically same as coastline, plus the islands/islets nearby which are belonging to some municipality/county. Also official border maps what we used from Maaamet reflect this. After merepõhjaseadus (sea area law) is made, maybe sea will be also divided between counties, but I guess that sea will remain administred in national level. Another question is that maybe islets (laiud) should not be tagged as administrative areas, as (if?) Mapnik would try to put admin names on top of everyone of them; and map would look bad. Was this the issue with islets near Hiiumaa? Jaak _______________________________________________ Talk-ee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ee
