Hello,
There is new Bing and Esri imagery of this marina now so I have tried to update it. If you have time it would be great if you could have a look to see if my updates are the way you remember it.

What is your source for this edit?

To me the main difference between `reef` and `shoal` is that the shoals are normally loose material and so they tend to be a bit gentler.

The dramatic increase in the size of ships in the last century has stretched what might be considered a hazard to navigation, but I think in general the presence of shallows near shore is a thing to be generally expected and reflected in bathymetry (and proper non-OSM charts) rather than something to treated as individual features.

If it counts for anything most Bahamian near-shore areas would be more natural=shoal than reef and telling them apart on imagery can be very difficult.

Most of them are already within subsea=areas that the really big ships would tend to avoid.

As reefs are normally hard shallow areas that pose a hazard to boats I don't think an area encompassing a marina and several docks really qualifies.

I don't know how that is calculated but it probably just includes the land. I don't know how much of the mangrove on the north shore has been included in the "land area" either.

If you mean the wikipedia page for Freeport itself then I don't know where the little image comes from. As it appears to exclude the main harbour, the airport, Bahamia and other areas that are administered as part of Freeport I wouldn't put too much weight on it.

The OSM boundaries looked similar to the ones on Wikipedia until I attempted to improve them. The boundaries I did were very rough from local knowledge. The original settlements that pre-date Freeport were excluded from the newly formed Port Area and so were excluded from the "City of Freeport" relation.

I don't know of an official source for the current boundaries that is suitably licensed for OSM. When I attempted to read the legislation defining the boundaries of the local government districts it appeared that they were assembled from electoral polling divisions and the polling divisions were only available in maps with a copyright notice that appeared to me (as someone without legal training) to go against the OSMF guidance on what is acceptable for use as a source in OSM.

I would like to do a revision at some point to lower the `admin_level` of these to a level close to what you see for local government in e.g. England and make a distinction between the single level and dual level districts and town areas but without a suitable source I'm not sure how much value there is in this.

Please don't just delete things you don't understand.

This was an error that was easy to fix. Even without a fix in place it contained useful information.

The issue is that that map is on a page that's "© Disney Copyright 2024. All Rights Reserved". Unless a map has specific permission for OSM to use or is under a limited number of pre-reviewed licenses they generally can't be used for improving OSM.

The most likely place for up to date (but low res) imagery for tracing is Sentinel 2, but they've recently completely changed the way the distribute data so I haven't had the chance to look at how it has to be accessed these days.

Awesome. I hope you had a great trip.

I have not followed this closely as my main interest is on another island, but I was under the impression that the public access to the southern point was meant to be maintained after the project was complete.

Of course on the ground survey is of course preferred to promises as far as OSM is concerned.

Several of these appear to just delete legible dates that are in a non-standard format. This doesn't seem helpful.

Ah, I was wondering why achavi wasn't loading the ways. The actual point features looked like they went through OK.

Please save before editing in multiple regions.

What is the rationale for changing this from a power plant to a generator? This seems to encompass the substation and waste processing as well as the actual power generation.

Has this been reverted?

Please split edits like this into local changesets.

Are y ou sure this is the way into this multi-storey?

This service way seems to go though a smaller building on the cited imagery while there's what appears to be a small pair of service roads on the south side of the building west of the secondary lot.

Please don't do changes on different continents all in the same changeset.
