This looks very much like a mechanical import. Was it discussed anywhere beforehand (see http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines for what's supposed to happen before an import). Were any other parts of that procedure followed?

We talked about that in the OpenSeaMap mailinglist.

The last changeset was merely a test import of a small subset of the data. to see how it goes. Aparently not very great :-(.The data itself is from NOAA, therefore it is in the public domain.
What do you think should happen next?

Re "What do you think should happen next?" I'd revert the import and "start at the top" again. I'll assume that you've done "Step 1" of http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines. Step 2 includes "Discuss your plan" - so I'd do that, in a more general forum other that one associated with a particular rendering such as OpenSeaMap. I'd expect that people will ask about the licence (for example, you've got the data from NOAA, but was any of the data obtained by them from third parties?). Among other things I'd also expect that you'd be asked how you know this data is accurate, how you'll update OSM when the NOAA source changes, and how you'll avoid duplication of data already in OSM.

As the import did none of the required consultation with the imports@ mailing list or the local lists, I'm going ahead and reverting it.

Ok, fair enough, I' go on the imports mailing list as soon as I hear further information from NOAA.
