A tidal flat, or mudflat, is a tidally inundated area of bare mud or similar sediments where you will find a lot of birds, crabs, mollusks.
How to map
Draw the outline of the area and tag it with natural=wetland + wetland=tidalflat.
The area will be located generally outside the coastline.
- surface=* may be added to specify the surface material: mud, etc.
For rocky foreshore or sand foreshore area use natural=bare_rock/rock/sand/shoal + tidal=yes instead.
