The BoundaryLine dataset should contain the mean-high-water and 
mean-low-water coastlines as vector data.

I wouldn't therefore copy the StreetView raster for coastlines.

If we're going to import any of it, something like the coastlines might make 
sense (the original coastlines were largely done via import - and there is 
probably no better source - e.g. even areas with Yahoo imagery will only 
show the coast at one particular snapshot in the tide-cycle).
