Between mangroves these are fairly static but elsewhere they can change 
quite rapidly.

Naming of tidal channels is quite common but like most maritime naming 
you will often have a hard time to define a geometric verifiability.  
Therefore most geometries drawn here are subjective label placement 
sketches.  In mangrove areas this is a bit different of course.

But i don't want to discourage anyone from a actually defining new tags 
here - just make sure you document them in a verifiable form.
