Status: deprecated

exclamation mark

This feature has been labeled as deprecated. The recommended replacement is: natural=reef, natural=shoal or subsea=*.
The reason is documented in Deprecated features. You are still free to continue to use or interpret this tag as you see fit since OpenStreetMap does not have “banned features”.
Under no circumstances should you (semi-)automatically change “deprecated” tags to something else in the database on a large scale without conforming to the automated edits code of conduct. Any such change will be reverted.

sub_sea=* is an artefact from an import and needs to be cleaned up. See the more popular tags natural=reef, natural=shoal or subsea=*. Taginfo for sub_sea=* is misleading because it counts the above mentioned artefacts.
