[Talk-ca] Maritime Boundary

Hello!

I have a question regarding the maritime boundary of Canada, specifically
Newfoundland and Labrador. National maritime boundaries generally use the
12 nautical mile limit, unless otherwise specified. I see the boundary for
the province (http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7/48.283/-53.196) which is
auto-generated by a bot. That seems fine, but there is another maritime
boundary for the Province. However, this one does not appear to be correct.
Take a look at this example -
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/47.7920/-52.7985. As you can see, the
dashed line represents the boundary - in ID, it is noted as the maritime
boundary. But that does not make sense - the line crosses the landmass, for
one thing. It is also very poorly shaped.

Is this supposed to be the actual maritime boundary? I don't think it is -
the parts of the line appears to be for the Provincial boundary. If it is
the Provincial boundary, shouldn't it follow the coastal boundary?

If I am mistaken, let me know.

Adam
