Yes, not many but some, which is why I have changed the marine rescue
definition to include "or inland waters". However, a  lot of the inland
rescue stations that I have looked at, appear to be lifeguard services
intended to look after swimmers close to shore, rather than vessels &/or
sailors in deeper waters, so they should probably be listed under one of
the lifeguard tags?

Looking at some of the existing lifeboat tags, I've also noticed that
virtually all of them are tagged as both amenity=lifeboat & also
emergency=lifeboat, which would seem to break the One Tag Only rule? This
would be corrected by moving them all to emergency=marine_rescue.

Suggesting rendering is OK. But "should render with the same pink colour as

Certainly not intended that way!

Thanks
