Thank you much, that is me who did it, my mistake, I was trying to cover a coastline for the marine structures, the boundaries were following the same coastline and there was an island inside the estuary that the coastline was defined.

Many ocean/river boundaries are not arbitrary, but reflect official boundaries where a coastal authority's water ends and a river authority's water begins.
