<div dir="ltr">Here is Thailand there is a lot of aquaculture
going on. Almost all of Thailand's fish and shellfish (shrimp,
mussels, oysters, squid, cuttlefish) come from such farms and
the countryside is littered with them. My practice has been to
enclose the entire area including the ponds and buildings and
tag it landuse=aquaculture. Then if I choose to take the time to
trace out individual ponds within those areas, which I often
decide not to bother doing, I would tag them as natural=water,
water=pond.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I honestly don't see the need for another top-level tag for
this purpose. An aquaculture operation almost always involves
some dry land, often quite a lot of it, and processing
buildings so the landuse tag would seem perfectly suited in
such cases. <br>

There are the ones in the sea .. well off the coast, others are
located in rivers ... these would be navigation hazards. Not too
concerned with ones on or even adjacent to land. <br>

<div>My only other comment is that the use of natural=water to
describe these, or any, man_made ponds or reservoirs has
always seemed, well, unnatural (pun intended) but I think
changing that tagging methodology at this point in time will
never happen. LOL</div>

With you there .. the 'natural' key is a bad term. Its values should
be split between landcover and landform. A landform of a peak,
saddle etc could have a landcover of wood, grass etc. <br>
<br>
Humm possibly the landuse key is not what is wanted either ... as it
is being used on water too ... possibly landuse should be humanuse ?

<br>
There are a number of instances of the tag
landuse=aquaculture present on water.<br>
<br>
Specifically landuse=aquaculture with produce=oyster.<br>
<br>
<br>
I think these would be better tagged wateruse=aquaculture.<br>
<br>
The landuse tag may have been used as that is what is
available on the wiki and it may get rendered.<br>
<br>
Oysters are not the only aquaculture activities taking place
on water ... fish farms too where the fish are restrained in
nets.<br>
<br>
e.g. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://theunderlined.wordpres<wbr>s.com/2013/05/01/mediterranean<wbr>-tuna-farm/</a><br>
<br>
And some crustaceans too.<br>
<br>
<br>
While some aquaculture does take place on land (e.g. in
tanks) .. the larger installations are usually in water
(sea, river, lake or dam).<br>
<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
