This is a lot of fun. As a resident of Maryland, I was mildly surprised to find that the Chesapeake Bay is treated as part of the Atlantic Ocean, instead of an individual waterway in its own right. I suppose this is probably due to the underlying data set, but it doesn't seem right to me.

You're the second person to mention this now! The stopping feature stuff is very tricky and not in the original USGS data, but I can block out Chesapeake Bay the same way that I blocked or the Gulf of Mexico

This has been added a stopping feature as of the last update.

Yeah, ecologically the Chesapeake is very distinct.
