Hi,

I don't think you should accept this data.

see:
https://wambachers-osm.website/images/osm/snaps_2019/strange_coastline.png_2019/strange_coastline.png

The old coastline (August 2018) is blue and the current coastal line is red.

The affected areas are wetlands, whose "coastline" is very complex. In
my opinion, the problem is that this "coastline" is not static, because
it is a natural runoff that will never be stable. It will look quite
different after several months.

A manually smoothed coastline (better than the one from 2018) would be
appropriate.
