Section J - Nature of the Seabed

Rendering of chart symbols and letters indicating the nature of the seabed surface are intended to show starting at zoom level 14 and higher (like for rocks) and at the point or center of an area/polygon (like for anchorages). The boundary of an seabead_area without danger to shipping at the surface (i.e. no obstruction, distinct from K1) shall be indicated with a thin and short dashed black line like indicated in INT-1 J20 (alternatively similar to K31 or I20).

Additional references for particle size classification are provided in the international standard ISO 14688-1 and are described for seabeds in a publication on Substrate Data for European Maritime Areas.

seamark:seabed_area:surface=sand;mud;shells
seamark:seabed_area:surface_qualification=fine;;
The main constitutent is given first for mixtures, e.g. fine sand with mud and shells

The different tags should be in a ordered, semicolon-separated list. This also applies to the qualifying term tags which should be in the same order. Where a surface type has no qualifying term, use an empty list item. Here e.g. three surface types seperated by semicolon, where the qulifying term is specified only for the first one.
