[Talk-ca] canvec mep feature 1150012 10- Coastal water - (Eau côtière) = Ocean - ( Océan )

[Bégin, Daniel]

Hi Richard,  

It's the best description we could find in the wiki!

About water, you must alway look at the Permanency attribute (Canvec and GeoBase). It defines if the area is always under water (plane blue on NRCan maps) or the area is rather a feature associated with water movement (textured blue) like beach, tidal flat, wetland, rocks in water.

Cheers,

Daniel
