Coastline in Panama, in particular with reference to the Pacific, it's a fuzzy concept, for several factors:
- tides in the Pacific are very ample;
- interaction among rivers, sea, and mangroves.
It's also not clear whether or not the coastline serves as administrative border, nor at which `admin_level`.
At the moment we use the coastline as border for districts and corregimientos (that's admin_level 6 and 8), while provinces (4) and the country (2) extend as far as the 12 maritime miles. we aren't aware of the legal situation.
