Hello! I like how you're adding detail for bay names along the Gulf :)
But I noticed your change (from natural=water to only natural=bay) is causing some maps made with OSM data to stop showing 'blue' water for these features.
(For example: http://dotmaps.openaddresses.io/175766/#lat=30.3977&lng=-87.1195&z=12.0133.)
From the same wiki page you reference:
"Since bays are generally part of a larger waterbody, either a lake or the ocean, they should not be rendered in solid color indicating water themselves. The Standard tile layer renders named bays with a label."
It appears the default OSM.org map styling doesn't make your change as obvious, though, because of this setting where 'blue' water color is draw when there is no land and no water:
Is it possible to add the bays on top of the original water (either as separate features or as another set of relations), please? Or maybe there's another solution that's better :)

Hello! In this case these bays are parts of the ocean (the larger waterbody that you mean). But, apparently the map styling that you show me doesn't updating the ocean polygon (the ocean is procesed separatley as a huge (multi)polygon). I believe some map styling only update the ocean polygon once in the year. Only solution that I can see for the render is the replacement of natural=bay by natural=water over the ocean (note that natural=coastline should be placed in the top of the tidal range).

I'll check out the ocean polygon, but I'm suspicious about a solution that is at once minutely and yearly update cycles, that sounds like a disruptive change.

I downloaded a custom Metro Extract from here: https://mapzen.com/data/metro-extracts/your-extracts/91259720005a and I *do* see ocean water covering that area. Did you also edit the ocean water? Or how did you determine the ocean water already existed here?

I've been able to follow the coastline feature in this area, and confirming with metro-extracts downloader. But not intuitive process.

Maybe is more easy send an email with the petition about updating the ocean polygon in these map stylings.
