Following our previous discussions: Possible merge of marine_rescue & lifeboat_station tags?, I’ve now raised a proposal to proceed with these changes: Proposed features/emergency=lifeboat station - OpenStreetMap Wiki
All comments are welcome, either here or on the talk page.
Discussions on the Talk page mentioned groups such as these https://wsart.org.uk/, who assist Emergency Services (Police, Fire & Ambulance) with water search & rescue.
Have now mentioned them in the proposal as emergency_service=water
Further suggestion to combine all water-rescue activities under emergency=water_rescue as an effective top tag:
