I have returned the border to be no more than ~22km from the land

Hi,

I was thinking of creating the Territorial Sea in a computational way, based on the Maritime Baseline of Israel, and in accordance to the OSM guidelines here

However, the baseline is expected to be at low-tide, while currently it is about 200 meters from it. Note that the distance from high-tide to low-tide on the Israeli shores the Mediterranean Sea is usually less than 10 meters.

Does anyone know a reason to have the maritime baseline set in that way?
Does anyone know what other uses can the maritime baseline have?

Bottom-line: Can I correct and complete the Israeli maritime baseline?

Thanks!
Zeev

Walter,
12 Nautical Miles (approx. 22 km) are the usual distance for Territorial Sea.
Check the OSM guidelines for additional details.
