Island or national reserve?

0

Hi,

I'm editing Shackleford Banks, North Carolina a bit and now it's only an island, but I'm not sure if I should change island by National reserve. I searched through wikipedia and official website https://www.nps.gov/calo/planyourvisit/maps.htm

It's managed by the National Park service, so should I put it has a National Reserve?

Should I keep Island and add another shape layer over it as a National Reserve?

Thank you

PS: Should I use islet for the little island here https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=16/34.6757/-76.5804 Someone used wetland instead.

Hi, You could add to the island the tags leisure=nature_reserve and operator=National Park Service. That would seem to cover your query.

Regarding the PS I can't see if that's land or just tidal salt flats.
